• Abstract: Distribution shifts remain a fundamental problem for the safe application of machine learning systems. If undetected, they may impact the real-world performance of such systems or will at least render original performance claims invalid. In this paper, we focus on the detection of subgroup shifts, a type of distribution shift that can occur when subgroups have a different prevalence during validation compared to the deployment setting. For example, algorithms developed on data from various acquisition settings may be predominantly applied in hospitals with lower quality data acquisition, leading to an inadvertent performance drop. We formulate subgroup shift detection in the framework of statistical hypothesis testing and show that recent state-of-the-art statistical tests can be effectively applied to subgroup shift detection on medical imaging data. We provide synthetic experiments as well as extensive evaluation on clinically meaningful subgroup shifts on histopathology as well as retinal fundus images. We conclude that classifier-based subgroup shift detection tests could be a particularly useful tool for post-market surveillance of deployed ML systems.

  We introduce a single diffusion model-based approach that produces multiple plausible outputs by learning a distribution over group insights. Our proposed model generates a distribution of segmentation masks by leveraging the inherent sampling process of diffusion. Comprehensive results show that our proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art ambiguous segmentation networks.

  systematic errors can impact both fairness for demographic minority groups as well as robustness and safety under domain shift. We leverage recent advances in text-to-image models and search in the space of textual descriptions of subgroups ("prompts") for subgroups where the target model has low performance. We study subgroup coverage and identifiability with PromptAttack in a controlled setting and find that it identifies systematic errors with high accuracy.

  Supervised learning techniques typically assume training data originates from the target population. Yet, dataset shift frequently arises, which, if not adequately taken into account, may decrease the performance of their predictors. We propose a novel and flexible framework called DetectShift that quantifies and tests for multiple dataset shifts.

  In this paper, we show how bringing recent results on equivariant representation learning instantiated on structured spaces together with simple use of classical results on causal inference provides an effective practical solution. We demonstrate how our model allows dealing with more than one nuisance variable under some assumptions and can enable analysis of pooled scientific datasets in scenarios that would otherwise entail removing a large portion of the samples.

A label permutation test is proposed in both studies using cross-validation (CV) and resubstitution with upper bound correction (RUB) as validation methods. We found in the permutation test that CV and RUB methods offer a false positive rate close to the significance level and an acceptable statistical power.
