From Invariant Representations to Invariant Data: Provable Robustness to Spurious Correlations via Noisy Counterfactual Matching

Spurious correlations can cause model performance to degrade in new environments. Prior causality-inspired work aim to learn invariant representations (e.g., IRM) but typically underperform empirical risk minimization (ERM). Recent alternatives …

Imagine for Me: Creative Conceptual Blending of Real Images and Text via Blended Attention

Blending visual and textual concepts into a new visual concept is a unique and powerful trait of human beings that can fuel creativity. However, in practice, crossmodal conceptual blending for humans is prone to cognitive biases, like design …
