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:2502. 18975v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Machine learning models are inherently bound to the distribution of the training data, often exploiting non-causal shortcuts.
arXiv:2606. 02830v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world datasets often contain spurious correlations that are not causally related to the target label.
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.
arXiv:2606. 30498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human decision-making interprets the world through high-level concepts, such as recognizing a bird by its belly color.
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:2606. 24716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are increasingly used to extract interpretable concepts from vision and vision language models, yet existing evaluation methods largely rely on proxy metrics or qualitative inspection rather than measuring semantic correspondence.
