Researchers have identified naturally occurring "statistical adversaries" within vision datasets like ImageNet. These are not malicious insertions but rather inherent statistical patterns that can act like backdoor triggers, altering model predictions without any deliberate attack. The study found these spurious correlations are strongly linked to specific labels and can affect various model architectures, suggesting that dataset structure itself can create exploitable vulnerabilities.
