Simplicity Bias Leads to Amplified Performance Disparities

no code implementations13 Dec 2022 Samuel J. Bell, Levent Sagun

Finally, we present two real-world examples of difficulty amplification in action, resulting in worse-than-expected performance disparities between groups even when using a balanced dataset.

The Effect of Task Ordering in Continual Learning

no code implementations26 May 2022 Samuel J. Bell, Neil D. Lawrence

Connecting to the field of curriculum learning, we show that the effect of task ordering can be exploited to modify continual learning performance, and present a simple approach for doing so.
