Uncovering shortcut learning in audio classifiers by discovering recurring concepts in temporal explanations

Correlations between events in machine learning datasets may result in shortcut learning, where models learn to predict the target event based on the presence of a correlated event. When these correlations are spurious -- arising from data collection artifacts -- models are likely to perform poorly in practice. We propose a pipeline to uncover shortcut learning in audio classifiers by discovering…
