Two new research papers address the issue of spurious correlations in machine learning models, particularly in speech and general classification tasks. The first paper introduces a toolkit to detect these spurious correlations in speech datasets, which can lead to overestimated performance, especially in high-stakes applications like health. The second paper proposes a method to improve model robustness by extracting a subnetwork that relies only on invariant features, even without prior knowledge of spurious attributes. AI
