Researchers have proposed a new approach to mitigate shortcut learning in AI classifiers by reframing the problem as one of calibration. Their methods, an in-processing regularizer and a post-hoc recalibration step, aim to equalize calibration between different shortcut groups. These techniques have shown substantial improvements on chest-drain-pneumothorax benchmarks, outperforming existing baselines and demonstrating the connection between shortcut learning, calibration theory, and algorithmic fairness.
