Cumulative Meta-Learning from Active Learning Queries for Robustness to Spurious Correlations
Researchers have developed a new active learning framework called Cumulative Active Meta-Learning (CAML) to improve the robustness of machine learning models against spurious correlations. CAML treats each active learning round as a meta-learning task, using queried samples to refine the model's inductive bias rather than just updating its likelihood. This cumulative approach captures sequential dependencies between learning rounds, leading to significant accuracy improvements for minority groups on various benchmarks. AI
