• Abstract: In order to analyze a trained model performance and identify its weak spots, one has to set aside a portion of the data for testing. The test set has to be large enough to detect statistically significant biases with respect to all the relevant sub-groups in the target population. This requirement may be difficult to satisfy, especially in data-hungry applications. We propose to overcome this difficulty by generating synthetic test set. We use the face landmarks detection task to validate our proposal by showing that all the biases observed on real datasets are also seen on a carefully designed synthetic dataset. This shows that synthetic test sets can efficiently detect a model's weak spots and overcome limitations of real test set in terms of quantity and/or diversity.

  In the AutoML domain, test accuracy is heralded as the quintessential metric for evaluating model efficacy.

The distribution of hard samples between training and test sets affects the difficulty levels of those sets. We propose a benchmarking procedure for comparing hard sample identification methods.

  We show that selection bias during data collection leads to undesired artifacts in the datasets. We observed a significant drop (>10%) in accuracy for all models tested in a clean split with no train/test source overlap. We suggest future dataset creation include a simple model as a difficulty/bias probe and future model development use a clean non-overlapping site and date split.
