InBiaseD: Inductive Bias Distillation to Improve Generalization and Robustness through Shape-awareness (2206.05846v1)

Published 12 Jun 2022 in cs.CV, cs.AI, and cs.LG

Abstract: Humans rely less on spurious correlations and trivial cues, such as texture, compared to deep neural networks which lead to better generalization and robustness. It can be attributed to the prior knowledge or the high-level cognitive inductive bias present in the brain. Therefore, introducing meaningful inductive bias to neural networks can help learn more generic and high-level representations and alleviate some of the shortcomings. We propose InBiaseD to distill inductive bias and bring shape-awareness to the neural networks. Our method includes a bias alignment objective that enforces the networks to learn more generic representations that are less vulnerable to unintended cues in the data which results in improved generalization performance. InBiaseD is less susceptible to shortcut learning and also exhibits lower texture bias. The better representations also aid in improving robustness to adversarial attacks and we hence plugin InBiaseD seamlessly into the existing adversarial training schemes to show a better trade-off between generalization and robustness.
