arXiv:2606. 01723v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world regression often exhibits shortcuts: attributes that are spuriously correlated with continuous targets in training, yet unreliable under deployment shifts; regressing targets using such shortcuts may fail catastrophically at test time.

arXiv:2606. 02830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world datasets often contain spurious correlations that are not causally related to the target label.

arXiv:2606. 28460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-driven modeling in real-world regression tasks often suffers from limited training samples, high collection costs, and noisy observations.

arXiv:2608. 05419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Models trained by empirical risk minimization on data containing spurious correlations achieve high average accuracy while failing on subpopulations where the correlation does not hold.

arXiv:2511. 22823v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weakly supervised learning has emerged as a practical alternative to fully supervised learning when complete and accurate labels are costly or infeasible to acquire.

Dataset distillation (DD) condenses large corpora into compact, information-rich subsets for efficient training and reuse. However, under noisy supervision, DD risks condensing corrupted associations together with useful signals, degrading robustness.

arXiv:2602. 17187v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The problem of domain generalization concerns learning predictive models that are robust to distribution shifts when deployed in new, previously unseen environments.

arXiv:2607. 23388v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As constrained learning becomes increasingly common, models are trained under explicit feasibility requirements to enforce fairness, safety, robustness, regulariza- tion, and physics or logic constraints.

Neural language models trained on large crowdsourced corpora frequently exploit spurious surface patterns tied to target labels without true linguistic or causal relevance, boosting benchmark performance while failing on adversarial or out-of-distribution inputs. Existing approaches either require manual specification of the feature vocabulary or automate discovery only partially, leaving the gap between dataset-level correlation and model-level exploitation unaddressed.

arXiv:2509. 04009v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Due to their powerful feature association capabilities, neural network-based computer vision models have the ability to detect and exploit unintended patterns within the data, potentially leading to correct predictions based on incorrect or unintended but statistically relevant signals.
