Xin Yuan, Zhenyang Niu, Meiqi Wan, Huilin Zhu, Xin Xu, Kui Jiang

Deep Metric Learning (DML) often struggles with zero-shot generalization because standard objectives inherently capture what co-occurs rather than what causes similarity. Consequently, DML models are vulnerable to shortcut learning driven by two structurally distinct confounders:…Read more
