OT on the Map: Quantifying Domain Shifts in Geographic Space

Haoran Zhang, Livia Betti, Konstantin Klemmer +2

In computer vision and machine learning for geographic data, out-of-domain generalization is a pervasive challenge, arising from uneven global data coverage and distribution shifts…

Aggregation Hides Out-of-Distribution Generalization Failures from Spurious Correlations

Olawale Salaudeen, Haoran Zhang, Kumail Alhamoud +2

Benchmarks for out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization frequently show a strong positive correlation between in-distribution (ID) and OOD accuracy across models, termed "accuracy-…

BendVLM: Test-Time Debiasing of Vision-Language Embeddings

Walter Gerych, Haoran Zhang, Kimia Hamidieh +4

Vision-language model (VLM) embeddings have been shown to encode biases present in their training data, such as societal biases that prescribe negative characteristics to members o…

Identifying Implicit Social Biases in Vision-Language Models

Kimia Hamidieh, Haoran Zhang, Walter Gerych +2

Vision-language models, like CLIP (Contrastive Language Image Pretraining), are becoming increasingly popular for a wide range of multimodal retrieval tasks. However, prior work ha…

Views Can Be Deceiving: Improved SSL Through Feature Space Augmentation

Kimia Hamidieh, Haoran Zhang, Swami Sankaranarayanan +1

Supervised learning methods have been found to exhibit inductive biases favoring simpler features. When such features are spuriously correlated with the label, this can result in s…

A Closer Look at AUROC and AUPRC under Class Imbalance

Matthew B. A. McDermott, Haoran Zhang, Lasse Hyldig Hansen +2

In machine learning (ML), a widespread claim is that the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) is a superior metric for model comparison to the area under the receiver oper…

The Limits of Fair Medical Imaging AI In The Wild

Yuzhe Yang, Haoran Zhang, Judy W Gichoya +2

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly approaches human-level performance in medical imaging, it is crucial that it does not exacerbate or propagate healthcare disparities. Prior…

Change is Hard: A Closer Look at Subpopulation Shift

Yuzhe Yang, Haoran Zhang, Dina Katabi +1

Machine learning models often perform poorly on subgroups that are underrepresented in the training data. Yet, little is understood on the variation in mechanisms that cause subpop…

"Why did the Model Fail?": Attributing Model Performance Changes to Distribution Shifts

Haoran Zhang, Harvineet Singh, Marzyeh Ghassemi +1

Machine learning models frequently experience performance drops under distribution shifts. The underlying cause of such shifts may be multiple simultaneous factors such as changes…

The Road to Explainability is Paved with Bias: Measuring the Fairness of Explanations

Aparna Balagopalan, Haoran Zhang, Kimia Hamidieh +3

Machine learning models in safety-critical settings like healthcare are often blackboxes: they contain a large number of parameters which are not transparent to users. Post-hoc exp…

Improving the Fairness of Chest X-ray Classifiers

Haoran Zhang, Natalie Dullerud, Karsten Roth +3

Deep learning models have reached or surpassed human-level performance in the field of medical imaging, especially in disease diagnosis using chest x-rays. However, prior work has…

Learning Optimal Predictive Checklists

Haoran Zhang, Quaid Morris, Berk Ustun +1

Checklists are simple decision aids that are often used to promote safety and reliability in clinical applications. In this paper, we present a method to learn checklists for clini…

Pulling Up by the Causal Bootstraps: Causal Data Augmentation for Pre-training Debiasing

Sindhu C. M. Gowda, Shalmali Joshi, Haoran Zhang +1

Machine learning models achieve state-of-the-art performance on many supervised learning tasks. However, prior evidence suggests that these models may learn to rely on shortcut bia…

A comparison of approaches to improve worst-case predictive model performance over patient subpopulations

Stephen R. Pfohl, Haoran Zhang, Yizhe Xu +3

Predictive models for clinical outcomes that are accurate on average in a patient population may underperform drastically for some subpopulations, potentially introducing or reinfo…

An Empirical Framework for Domain Generalization in Clinical Settings

Haoran Zhang, Natalie Dullerud, Laleh Seyyed-Kalantari +3

Clinical machine learning models experience significantly degraded performance in datasets not seen during training, e.g., new hospitals or populations. Recent developments in doma…
