The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

Deep neural networks used for medical decisions can latch onto spurious artifacts—band-aids, rulers, pacemakers, brightness shifts, or inserted noise—that correlate with a diagnosis without causing it. This paper extends the Reveal2Revise bias-correction loop, which detects such shortcuts, models them, and unlearns them, with semi-automated annotation tools. A concept activation vector (CAV), a direction in the model's latent space that separates artifact-bearing from clean activations, ranks unlabeled samples by bias score to surface more artifact examples and produces spatial masks that localize the artifact. The authors demonstrate the extended loop on melanoma, gastrointestinal, chest radiograph, and electrocardiogram (ECG) datasets using VGG16, ResNet50, and Vision Transformer models, reporting that detected biases are identified, localized, and mitigated with reduced artifact reliance. The practical payoff is that bias correction becomes far less dependent on expensive expert labeling.

What carries the argument

The load-bearing object is the Concept Activation Vector (CAV), defined as a direction in a chosen layer's activation space that separates samples containing the artifact from samples without it. It works as a ranker, as an iteratively refinable bias model, and as a localizer: projecting activations onto the CAV yields a bias score, while using the element-wise product of activations and the CAV as the initialization for layer-wise relevance propagation turns the direction into input-space heatmaps and binary masks. The choice of layer is part of the machinery, and the paper treats it as a hyperparameter that strongly affects retrieval and localization quality.

What would settle it

Take a controlled artifact with ground-truth masks, such as the inserted timestamp in HyperKvasir, train CAVs on every layer of a fixed model, and test both ranking and localization on held-out samples; the central claim is falsified if some artifact admits no layer whose CAV separates artifact samples from clean samples above chance while its localization mask overlaps the ground truth no better than randomly.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The paper's central claim is that the two least-automated steps of the Reveal2Revise life cycle—finding which samples carry a spurious artifact and marking where the artifact sits—can be driven by a single linear bias representation. Starting from a small seed set of artifact samples, a CAV trained at a chosen layer gives a bias score for every other sample; ranking by that score retrieves previously unlabeled artifact images, and iterating with brief human inspection refines the direction. The same CAV, when combined with layer-wise relevance propagation, localizes the artifact in input space as a soft or binary mask. The paper reports that this closes the loop across four medical datasets and two modalities: the identified biases are unlearned with gradient-penalty or activation-projection corrections, accuracy on biased test sets rises, and artifact relevance and concept-sensitivity (TCAV) scores fall while clean-test accuracy is largely preserved.

Load-bearing premise

The pipeline assumes a spurious artifact can be captured as one linear direction in some layer of the network's latent space, and that a suitable layer can be found.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • A small seed set of artifact samples can be expanded to a full dataset annotation by ranking unlabeled samples with CAV bias scores, reducing the expert labeling burden in the reveal and modeling stages.
  • Spatial masks produced by CAV localization can feed input-gradient-based correction methods such as RRR, removing the need for hand-drawn pixel-level artifact masks.
  • In the reported experiments, CAV-based mitigation methods such as RR-ClArC improve accuracy on biased test sets while keeping clean-test accuracy close to the baseline model's.
  • The framework transfers beyond images to time-series medical data, where ECG models trained with an inserted static-noise artifact show the same detect-and-mitigate pattern.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • A natural extension the authors leave implicit is automatic layer selection—for example, choosing the layer whose CAV maximizes retrieval or localization quality on a validation set—which would remove the extra hyperparameter they flag in their limitations.
  • The bias-score ranking could be deployed as a standalone dataset-auditing tool before any model correction, quantifying artifact prevalence and exposing labeling errors in medical training data.
  • If the linear-direction assumption fails for heavily entangled concepts, the same loop would need non-linear concept regions or sparse-autoencoder disentanglement; the paper itself points to sparse autoencoders as future work.
  • Outside medicine, the same CAV annotation loop should apply to any domain where device-specific artifacts correlate with labels, such as satellite imagery or industrial inspection, though non-localizable artifacts like color shifts would remain harder to mask.

Referee Report

4 major / 4 minor

Summary. The paper reviews and extends the Reveal2Revise framework for detecting and mitigating spurious correlations in medical deep learning models. The extension adds semi-automated bias annotation: CAV-based biased-sample retrieval, iterative refinement of the bias representation, and spatial bias localization, followed by mitigation with RRR and ClArC variants. The authors evaluate on four medical datasets across two modalities (image and ECG) using VGG16, ResNet50, and ViT architectures, with both real-world and artificially controlled artifacts. The central claim is that the extended framework successfully identifies and mitigates these biases across all three vision architectures.

Significance. The paper has clear practical value if the claims are properly scoped. The strengths are real: controlled artifacts with ground-truth masks, externally anchored artifact labels for real-world biases, quantitative retrieval and localization evaluations on multiple layers and architectures, and released code and annotations. The bias identification and retrieval results are largely convincing and would be useful to practitioners. However, the headline claim of successful mitigation in ViTs is not supported by the reported numbers, and part of the mitigation evaluation is circular because the TCAV/artifact-relevance metrics are computed along the same CAV direction that the mitigation methods erase. These issues weaken the central claim as written, although they are addressable by revising the claims and adding independent evaluation.

major comments (4)
  1. [Abstract; §6.5; Appendix A.7.4 (Table 11)] The claim that the framework "successfully identify[ies] and mitigat[es] these biases in VGG16, ResNet50, and contemporary Vision Transformer models" is not supported for ViTs. In Table 11, the CAV-based methods RR-ClArC, P-ClArC, and rP-ClArC leave biased-test accuracy essentially unchanged: HyperKvasir stays at 0.42 for RR-ClArC, ISIC2019 moves only from 0.27 to 0.31, and CheXpert from 0.25 to 0.31. The only substantial ViT improvement comes from RRR with ground-truth masks (ISIC2019 0.27→0.59, HyperKvasir 0.42→0.54), which requires manual pixel-level annotations and is not the proposed semi-automated CAV annotation pipeline. The abstract and conclusions should be revised to claim ViT detection and localization, with mitigation demonstrated only when ground-truth masks are provided.
  2. [§6.5; Appendix A.7.4 (Eq. 12, Table 11)] The mitigation evaluation is partly circular: TCAV sensitivity and artifact relevance are computed along the same CAV direction that RR-ClArC and P-ClArC explicitly erase. Table 11 shows RR-ClArC driving ViT TCAVsens to 0.00 while biased accuracy remains flat, which indicates that the metric may be measuring removal of the direction rather than behavioral robustness. The paper should include an independent evaluation, such as a CAV computed from a held-out layer or annotation source, or behavioral insertion/deletion tests, before claiming successful ViT mitigation.
  3. [§6.5; Appendix A.7.4 (Tables 9 and 10)] The proposed semi-automated feature-level annotations are not actually connected to the main mitigation results. Table 1 in the main text uses RRR with ground-truth masks, and the automated heatmap and binarized masks appear only in the appendix with substantially smaller gains: for ResNet50 on ISIC2019, biased accuracy is 0.44 (hm) and 0.43 (bin) versus 0.51 with ground truth, and for HyperKvasir 0.77 versus 0.82. Automated masks are not reported for ViT at all. The claim that the feature-level annotation pipeline reduces labeling effort in the full mitigation loop therefore needs to be either demonstrated with automated masks in the main results or explicitly qualified.
  4. [§6.4; Appendix A.7.3 (Table 7)] The spatial localization results are weaker than the retrieval results: for the microscope artifact, IoU is below 0.16 for all layers and architectures because the models attend only to the border of the circle. The paper acknowledges this in the limitations section, but the low IoU has direct consequences for the automated-mask mitigation pipeline discussed in the previous comment. The authors should state more explicitly that RRR with automated masks is currently only practical for well-localized artifacts such as the timestamp, not for artifacts where the model's concept representation differs from the human-annotated region.
minor comments (4)
  1. [Throughout] There are several typos and small errors, including "n a medical context" and "sub-popluations" in §2, "overivew" in Appendix A.1, "miscroscope" in Table 7, "clearn dataset" in Appendix A.7.4, "perspetive" in Appendix A.7.3, and "in int terms" in Appendix A.7.4. These should be corrected.
  2. [§6.3; Figure 7] The retrieval plots would be easier to read if the best-performing layer per artifact were marked directly on the figure, since the text refers to layer choice as crucial and Figures 7 and 9 show that the optimal layer differs between retrieval and localization.
  3. [§3.3; Eq. (2)] Equation (2) writes R_l(x) = a_l(x) ∘ h_l without specifying whether a_l is the full spatial activation tensor or a pooled representation; because the paper uses max-pooled 1D activations for CAVs, the dimensions of the element-wise product should be stated explicitly.
  4. [§7; Bias Modeling] The limitation paragraph on layer selection is well placed, but since the paper identifies layer choice as an additional hyperparameter and shows that retrieval and localization prefer different layers, a short paragraph in the main text on how a practitioner would choose the layer in a real deployment would strengthen the practical contribution.

Circularity Check

1 steps flagged · score 4.0 of 10

Partial circularity: the TCAV-based mitigation metric is the square of the RR-ClArC training objective, and the proposed CAV methods do not improve ViT biased accuracy.

  1. fitted input called prediction [Sec. 6.5; Appendix A.4.1 Eq. (10) vs Appendix A.7.4 Eqs. (12)-(13); Appendix Table 11]
    "Given a bias direction hl, the latent right reason lossLRR-ClArC is defined as follows: LRR-ClArC(x, hl) = ( ∇a ˜f(al(x)· hl )2 . (10) ... The latter is based on the concept sensitivity measured via CAV h and the latent feature use, computed as gradient of the prediction w.r.t. latent activations a(x): TCAVsens(x) = ∇a ˜f(al(x))· h . (12) ... We report ∆TCAV = |TCAV−0.5|, where 0 indicates no sensitivity and higher values are interpreted as reliance on the artifact."

    The RR-ClArC training objective (Eq. 10) is the square of the exact sensitivity whose sign/fraction defines the TCAV score (Eqs. 12-13) used to evaluate mitigation success. Minimizing Eq. 10 therefore drives the reported TCAV/∆TCAV metric toward zero largely by construction, independent of whether the model actually becomes more robust on biased inputs. Appendix Table 11 exhibits this reduction: for ViT, RR-ClArC yields TCAVsens = 0.00 while biased-test accuracy remains at the Vanilla level (e.g., HyperKvasir 0.42 → 0.42).

full rationale

The framework's detection and annotation pipeline is anchored to external ground truth: controlled artifact insertions, manually provided artifact labels, and held-out retrieval AUROC/AP against those labels, so the main bias-modeling claims are not self-referential in their primary evaluation. The heavy self-citation to the authors' own Reveal2Revise, Pattern-CAV, and RR-ClArC works is normal and not load-bearing for the central empirical results, since the decisive accuracy numbers use independent biased test sets. The partial circularity is localized to the mitigation evaluation: for RR-ClArC, the reported TCAV/∆TCAV decrease is the squared quantity being minimized by the loss, and for P-ClArC/rP-ClArC the same CAV direction is both erased and used to measure sensitivity. This matters because the paper claims successful ViT mitigation, yet Appendix Table 11 shows the proposed CAV methods leave ViT biased accuracy near the Vanilla baseline while TCAVsens collapses to 0.00; the only ViT improvement comes from RRR with ground-truth masks, which is outside the proposed semi-automated annotation pipeline. The paper's Section 7 limitations about layer selection and concept entanglement are correctness risks, not circularity. Overall, because VGG/ResNet mitigation is independently supported by biased-accuracy gains and the retrieval/localization claims use external labels, the circularity is partial rather than total: score 4.

Assumptions & free parameters 5 free parameters · 6 assumptions · 0 invented entities

All claimed capabilities rest on the linear-representation assumption for artifacts, on the fidelity of attribution methods, and on human validation of outliers. No new physical or model entities are introduced; the main tuned quantities are the CAV layer, mitigation weight, inspection counts, and neuron selection, with values chosen per dataset and model.

free parameters (5)
  • CAV layer l for bias representation = per artifact/model; e.g., ResNet50 Block 1-4, VGG16 Conv 4-13
    Layer choice is a hyperparameter selected per dataset and artifact by validation performance; the authors note it is crucial for retrieval and localization (Secs. 6.3-6.4, Tabs. 5, 7) and can differ between retrieval and localization objectives.
  • Bias mitigation weight lambda = values in Tab. 12, e.g., RRR 5e2-5e5, RR-ClArC 1e1-5e12
    Lambda balances the classification loss and the right-reason loss; it is selected on the validation set and reported in Tab. 12. Mitigation results depend strongly on it.
  • Number of inspected samples per iteration ninspect = not reported
    Algorithm 2 uses ninspect as the number of top-scoring samples manually inspected each CAV refinement round; no value is given, so the human-effort gain cannot be quantified.
  • Best neuron selection for neuron-based retrieval = chosen on validation set
    Single-neuron baselines pick the best neuron per artifact and layer on validation data before test reporting; this is an additional selection step not available in deployment.
  • Clustering and prototype parameters = not reported
    Outlier detection results depend on unspecified cluster counts for SpRAy, GMM components for PCX, and related prototype parameters, limiting reproducibility of the bias identification step.
assumptions (6)
  • domain assumption Spurious artifacts can be represented as linear directions in some latent layer of the network.
    Required for Eq. 1, Eq. 2, and all CAV-based annotation and mitigation; authors acknowledge in Sec. 7 that no guarantee exists for a perfectly separating layer.
  • domain assumption Neurons and latent directions in deep networks correspond to human-aligned concepts, especially near the head.
    Motivates concept-based interpretation in Sec. 3.1; cited works provide evidence, but there is no proof for medical models.
  • domain assumption Attribution methods such as LRP faithfully reflect the features the model uses.
    Used to compute SpRAy, latent relevances, artifact relevance, and localization masks in Secs. 3.3, 4.1, and 6.4.
  • domain assumption Outlier model behavior detected by clustering corresponds to spurious correlations rather than rare but valid clinical strategies.
    Acknowledged in Sec. 4: 'outlier model reasoning is not necessarily caused by spurious correlations'; human validation is required.
  • domain assumption Over-parameterization yields redundant neurons so that outlier concept detection is meaningful.
    Sec. 4.2 states 'this approach assumes over-parameterization resulting in redundant neurons'.
  • domain assumption The initial set of biased samples from bias identification methods is reliable enough to train a useful CAV.
    Algorithm 2 assumes a small seed set of biased samples from identification methods as accurate starting labels for the iterative refinement.

Deep neural networks are increasingly employed in high-stakes medical applications, despite their tendency for shortcut learning in the presence of spurious correlations, which can have potentially fatal consequences in practice. Whereas a multitude of works address either the detection or mitigation of such shortcut behavior in isolation, the Reveal2Revise approach provides a comprehensive bias mitigation framework combining these steps. However, effectively addressing these biases often requires substantial labeling efforts from domain experts. In this work, we review the steps of the Reveal2Revise framework and enhance it with semi-automated interpretability-based bias annotation capabilities. This includes methods for the sample- and feature-level bias annotation, providing valuable information for bias mitigation methods to unlearn the undesired shortcut behavior. We show the applicability of the framework using four medical datasets across two modalities, featuring controlled and real-world spurious correlations caused by data artifacts. We successfully identify and mitigate these biases in VGG16, ResNet50, and contemporary Vision Transformer models, ultimately increasing their robustness and applicability for real-world medical tasks. Our code is available at https://github.com/frederikpahde/medical-ai-safety.
