| Challenge: | Standard test sets for supervised learning evaluate in-distribution generalization but are misleading when a dataset has systematic gaps. |
| Approach: | They propose a more rigorous annotation paradigm for NLP that helps to close systematic gaps in the test data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs significantly lower on contrast sets than on the original test sets—up to 25% in some cases. |
Contrastive Attention for Automatic Chest X-ray Report Generation (2021.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies show that learning-based models fail to accurately capture and describe abnormal regions due to data bias. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that compares the current input image with normal images to capture abnormal regions by contrasting the input image and normal images. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be easily incorporated into existing models to boost their performance under most metrics. |
