Deep neural networks often fail catastrophically because they rely on spurious features. Most prior work assumes a clear dichotomy into spurious and non-spurious features; however, we argue that this dichotomy is often unrealistic. For example, most of the time we do not want an autonomous car to use the speed of the car in the next lane to determine its own speed—we don't want our car to run a red light if a neighboring car does so. However, we cannot simply call next lane speed a spurious feature and always ignore it, since it could provide valuable information about an unobserved pedestrian at a pedestrian crossing. Thus, universally ignoring features that are sometimes reliable but not always can lead to non-robust performance. To address this issue, we introduce a new setting called contextual reliability which aims to improve the robustness of deep neural networks by accounting for the fact that the optimal features to use may vary depending on the context. We propose and analyze a framework called Explicit Non-spurious feature Prediction (ENP) which involves identifying the relevant features to use for a given context, and then training a model to rely exclusively on these features while being invariant to the rest. Our work contributes theoretical and empirical results demonstrating the advantages of ENP over existing robust learning methods and provides new benchmarks for addressing the challenge of contextual reliability.Deep neural networks often fail catastrophically because they rely on spurious features.
