The proposed novel training method tackles the challenge of training an unbiased and accurate model from a dataset with multiple biases. The problem is complicated by the presence of multiple undesirable shortcuts during training, which can be exacerbated by attempts to mitigate one bias. The approach groups training data to induce different shortcuts and optimizes a linear combination of group-wise losses while adjusting their weights dynamically. This method, rooted in multi-objective optimization theory, encourages a minimax Pareto solution.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper proposes a way to train an unbiased model from a dataset with multiple biases. The challenge is that the biases can cause shortcuts during training, and trying to fix one bias might make another one worse. To solve this problem, the authors group the data so different groups create different shortcuts. Then, they adjust the weights of these groups dynamically to balance their effects.
