Machine learning models can pick up biases and spurious correlations from training data and projects and amplify these biases during inference, thus posing significant challenges in real-world settings. One approach to mitigating this is a class of methods that can identify filter out bias-inducing samples from the training datasets to force models to avoid being exposed to biases. However, the filtering leads to a considerable wastage of resources as most of the dataset created is discarded as biased. This work deals with avoiding the wastage of resources by identifying and quantifying the biases. I further elaborate on the implications of dataset filtering on robustness (to adversarial attacks) and generalization (to out-of-distribution samples). The findings suggest that while dataset filtering does help to improve OOD(Out-Of-Distribution) generalization, it has a significant negative impact on robustness to adversarial attacks. It also shows that transforming bias-inducing samples into adversarial samples (instead of eliminating them from the dataset) can significantly boost robustness without sacrificing generalization.
