As users increasingly rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to accomplish their daily tasks, their concerns about the potential leakage of private data by these models have surged.

A: At the beginning there was 10 cookies, then 2 of them were eaten, so 8 cookies were left. Then 5 cookieswere given toa friend, so 3 cookies were left. 3 cookies + 2 boxes of 2 cookies (4 cookies) = 7 cookies. Youhave 7 cookies.

If the past three years have taught us anything, it is that the world around us can take unexpected turns. The same can be true for your computer vision models.
Unforeseen data may be presented to the computer vision model during operation despite careful mitigation of datasets and shortcuts. One such phenomenon is data drift.
A hospital may change their x-ray machine and keep using the same computer vision model to diagnose, even though the system was not trained with this kind of input data. Similarly, an autonomous car solely built for European streets notable for their twists and turns, may not perform as expected if deployed in an American city.
Fail, but fail gracefully.
ML models tend to fail silently and make predictions regardless, albeit erroneous ones. One can mitigate operational bias by adding the right mitigation strategies: the wider ML system should detect in operation if an image looks “suspicious” or “unknown”, and gracefully fail (for example, by asking the doctor for a closer look).
Out-of-distribution detection.
The problem of finding such problematic inputs is called out-of-distribution detection. The challenging problem involves comparing the distribution of high-dimensional objects. If you’re interested in learning more about it, the research in the area is extensive [1], [2], [3]. Note that out-of-distribution detection is a key part of many learning systems.
For example, Generative Adversarial Networks train a discriminator network whose sole task is to detect if a generated image is “suspicious” when judged against a reference dataset. Systems in production should be endowed with an out-of-distribution detector in order to detect problematic samples on the fly. If a problematic image is detected, the system should fail gracefully, thus reducing the risk of silent failures of your computer vision system.
It is essential to keep data drift in mind once your system is in production. Keeping the data and model up-to-date is just a part of any AI’s lifecycle. In the meantime, ensure that mitigation strategies are in place so those suspicious outcomes are detected and looked at by humans in the loop.

The computer vision bias trilogy: Shortcut learning.
Nobel Prize-winning economist, Daniel Kahneman once remarked “by their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but their heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones”. This is certainly the case when we talk about “shortcut learning”.
Medical imaging as a serious prospect: Where are we at?
The promise these possibilities hold has put medical imaging in the lead of the race toward landing in hospitals. But that is not the end of the discussion…
