Target concepts are the essential features for recognizing a class, like the body or shell of a sea turtle. Their absence significantly hinders correct classification.
Context concepts frequently co-occur with a class but are not necessary for recognition, such as a beach background for a sea turtle image.
Bias concepts are context concepts that disproportionately co-occur with a class in the dataset, like sandy environments appearing far more frequently than ocean or tropical scenes for sea turtle images.
ConceptScope significantly outperforms VLM-based baselines in accurately predicting the presence of visual concepts across diverse datasets, achieving an F1 score of 72% (Table 1).

Diagnosing Model Robustness with ConceptScope
ConceptScope provides a novel diagnostic tool for model robustness by partitioning test data into subgroups based on target and bias concept strengths. This allows for evaluation of model generalization under varying distribution shifts, revealing that models performing well on typical (high target-high bias) samples also tend to perform better on rare or outlier (low target-low bias) settings.
