Association unlearning aims to disable learned label-attribute shortcuts while preserving task performance. Existing evaluations mainly measure output-level robustness or probe whether shortcut attributes remain readable in frozen features, but neither test determines whether a retained association remains functionally usable by the original classifier.
arXiv:2606. 01843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deepfake detection suffers from poor generalization across forgery methods, as existing models tend to rely on spurious method-specific shortcuts that fail to transfer to unseen manipulations.

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.
