Mitigating Spurious Correlations in Text Classification Using Latent Space Geometry (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models rely on predictive shortcuts that hold in training data but break under distribution shifts, leading to large performance drops for minority groups. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework that transforms abstract biases into interpretable geometric anchors without auxiliary classifiers by manipulating latent space geometry. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art baselines and improves worst-group accuracy by over 20% on the CivilComments dataset. |
