A Survey on Bias in Visual Datasets (2107.07919v2)

Published 16 Jul 2021 in cs.CV

Abstract: Computer Vision (CV) has achieved remarkable results, outperforming humans in several tasks. Nonetheless, it may result in significant discrimination if not handled properly as CV systems highly depend on the data they are fed with and can learn and amplify biases within such data. Thus, the problems of understanding and discovering biases are of utmost importance. Yet, there is no comprehensive survey on bias in visual datasets. Hence, this work aims to: i) describe the biases that might manifest in visual datasets; ii) review the literature on methods for bias discovery and quantification in visual datasets; iii) discuss existing attempts to collect bias-aware visual datasets. A key conclusion of our study is that the problem of bias discovery and quantification in visual datasets is still open, and there is room for improvement in terms of both methods and the range of biases that can be addressed. Moreover, there is no such thing as a bias-free dataset, so scientists and practitioners must become aware of the biases in their datasets and make them explicit. To this end, we propose a checklist to spot different types of bias during visual dataset collection.
