Out-of-Distribution Detection Methods Answer the Wrong Questions

Yucen Lily Li, Daohan Lu, Polina Kirichenko +4

To detect distribution shifts and improve model safety, many out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods rely on the predictive uncertainty or features of supervised models trained…

OpenFlamingo: An Open-Source Framework for Training Large Autoregressive Vision-Language Models

Anas Awadalla, Irena Gao, Josh Gardner +13

We introduce OpenFlamingo, a family of autoregressive vision-language models ranging from 3B to 9B parameters. OpenFlamingo is an ongoing effort to produce an open-source replicati…

Out-of-Domain Robustness via Targeted Augmentations

Irena Gao, Shiori Sagawa, Pang Wei Koh +2

Models trained on one set of domains often suffer performance drops on unseen domains, e.g., when wildlife monitoring models are deployed in new camera locations. In this work, we…

Leveraging Large (Visual) Language Models for Robot 3D Scene Understanding

William Chen, Siyi Hu, Rajat Talak +1

Abstract semantic 3D scene understanding is a problem of critical importance in robotics. As robots still lack the common-sense knowledge about household objects and locations of a…

Extending the WILDS Benchmark for Unsupervised Adaptation

Shiori Sagawa, Pang Wei Koh, Tony Lee +17

Machine learning systems deployed in the wild are often trained on a source distribution but deployed on a different target distribution. Unlabeled data can be a powerful point of…

On the Opportunities and Risks of Foundation Models

Rishi Bommasani, Drew A. Hudson, Ehsan Adeli +111

AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (e.g., BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks.…

Just Train Twice: Improving Group Robustness without Training Group Information

Evan Zheran Liu, Behzad Haghgoo, Annie S. Chen +5

Standard training via empirical risk minimization (ERM) can produce models that achieve high accuracy on average but low accuracy on certain groups, especially in the presence of s…

Accuracy on the Line: On the Strong Correlation Between Out-of-Distribution and In-Distribution Generalization

John Miller, Rohan Taori, Aditi Raghunathan +6

For machine learning systems to be reliable, we must understand their performance in unseen, out-of-distribution environments. In this paper, we empirically show that out-of-distri…

WILDS: A Benchmark of in-the-Wild Distribution Shifts

Pang Wei Koh, Shiori Sagawa, Henrik Marklund +20

Distribution shifts -- where the training distribution differs from the test distribution -- can substantially degrade the accuracy of machine learning (ML) systems deployed in the…

Selective Classification Can Magnify Disparities Across Groups

Erik Jones, Shiori Sagawa, Pang Wei Koh +2

Selective classification, in which models can abstain on uncertain predictions, is a natural approach to improving accuracy in settings where errors are costly but abstentions are…

An Investigation of Why Overparameterization Exacerbates Spurious Correlations

Shiori Sagawa, Aditi Raghunathan, Pang Wei Koh +1

We study why overparameterization -- increasing model size well beyond the point of zero training error -- can hurt test error on minority groups despite improving average test err…

Distributionally Robust Neural Networks for Group Shifts: On the Importance of Regularization for Worst-Case Generalization

Shiori Sagawa, Pang Wei Koh, Tatsunori B. Hashimoto +1

Overparameterized neural networks can be highly accurate on average on an i.i.d. test set yet consistently fail on atypical groups of the data (e.g., by learning spurious correlati…

Multi-Resolution Weak Supervision for Sequential Data

Frederic Sala, Paroma Varma, Jason Fries +8

Since manually labeling training data is slow and expensive, recent industrial and scientific research efforts have turned to weaker or noisier forms of supervision sources. Howeve…

Distributionally Robust Language Modeling

Yonatan Oren, Shiori Sagawa, Tatsunori B. Hashimoto +1

Language models are generally trained on data spanning a wide range of topics (e.g., news, reviews, fiction), but they might be applied to an a priori unknown target distribution (…
