Abstract

Attributes describing data content and context can induce diverse imbalance patterns that go beyond label imbalance alone. However, existing studies primarily address label imbalance while overlooking data attributes, such as topics and demographics, which can induce meaningful subgroup structure while causing model degradation on underrepresented subgroups. We propose Attribute-Agnostic Imbalance Augmentation (AIA$^{2}$), a framework for improving model robustness under varying subgroup imbalances without explicit subgroup annotations. AIA$^{2}$ automatically discovers varying imbalances via latent semantic distributions, obtains slices with both learning difficulty and subgroup imbalance deficits, and deploys a large language model (LLM) for subgroup-aware imbalance augmentation. We have evaluated AIA$^{2}$ on 5 popular corpora with rich domains and their attribute values, covering social issues and diverse topics. Results show improved performance on the lowest-performing subgroups and consistent gains over competitive baselines. Ablation studies confirm complementary contributions from each component, and additional analyses show that AIA$^{2}$ provides a practical and consistent way to improve worst-group robustness under data subgroup imbalance. Code is available at https://github.com/trust-nlp/AIA2-Subgroup-Robustness.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.

Research brief

Metadata summary

Attributes describing data content and context can induce diverse imbalance patterns that go beyond label imbalance alone.

Based on abstract + metadata only. Check the source paper before making high-confidence protocol decisions.

Key takeaways

  • Attributes describing data content and context can induce diverse imbalance patterns that go beyond label imbalance alone.
  • However, existing studies primarily address label imbalance while overlooking data attributes, such as topics and demographics, which can induce meaningful subgroup structure while causing model degradation on underrepresented subgroups.
  • We propose Attribute-Agnostic Imbalance Augmentation (AIA$^{2}$), a framework for improving model robustness under varying subgroup imbalances without explicit subgroup annotations.

Researcher actions

  • Compare this paper against nearby papers in the same arXiv category before using it for protocol decisions.
  • Check the full text for explicit evaluation design choices (raters, protocol, and metrics).
  • Use related-paper links to find stronger protocol-specific references.

Caveats

  • Generated from abstract + metadata only; no PDF parsing.
  • Signals below are heuristic and may miss details reported outside the abstract.
