Vision models show different error patterns than humans

A new research paper explores how human and machine vision models make different types of errors, even when achieving similar classification accuracy. By analyzing confusion matrices and employing a Rate-Distortion framework, the study reveals distinct inductive biases in how these systems generalize under various perturbations. The findings suggest that while robustness training can reduce overall errors, it does not replicate the nuanced error patterns observed in human vision, highlighting directional confusions as key indicators of these underlying biases.

    Directional Confusions Reveal Divergent Inductive Biases Through Rate-Distortion Geometry in Human and Machine Vision

    Humans and modern vision models can reach similar classification accuracy while making systematically different kinds of mistakes - differing not in how often they err, but in who gets mistaken for whom, and in which direction. We show that these directional confusions reveal dis…
