Overcoming this tendency is a central challenge in areas such as representation learning and ML fairness. Recent work has proposed using data augmentation, i.e., generating training examples where the superficial features fail, as a means of encouraging models to prefer the stronger features. We design a series of toy learning problems to test the hypothesis that data augmentation leads models to unlearn weaker heuristics, but not to learn stronger features in their place.
