Bibliographic Information: Dalal, A., & Hitzler, P. (2024). ConceptLens: from Pixels to Understanding. arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.05311v1.
Research Objective: This paper introduces ConceptLens, a tool designed to improve the interpretability of deep neural networks (DNNs), specifically focusing on visualizing hidden neuron activations and their confidence levels using error-margin analysis.
Methodology: ConceptLens combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained on image classification with symbolic reasoning techniques (Concept Induction) to assign semantic labels to neurons in the final dense layer. It leverages error-margin analysis to assess the likelihood of accurate concept detection by comparing neuron activations on target and non-target images. The tool provides a user-friendly interface for uploading images and visualizing neuron activations and their corresponding error margins through bar charts.
Key Findings: ConceptLens successfully visualizes neuron activations and their confidence levels, allowing users to understand which concepts trigger specific neurons and how confidently the network responds to different inputs. The error-margin analysis provides valuable insights into the uncertainty and imprecision of neural concept labels.
Main Conclusions: ConceptLens represents a significant advancement in explainable AI by bridging the gap between DNNs' black-box nature and human understanding. The tool's ability to visualize neuron activations and their confidence levels enhances the interpretability and trustworthiness of DNNs.
Significance: This research contributes to the growing field of explainable AI by providing a practical tool for understanding the inner workings of DNNs. This has implications for improving the reliability and transparency of AI systems, particularly in image recognition tasks.
Limitations and Future Research: The authors acknowledge the need to extend ConceptLens to a broader range of datasets and classes, improve the user interface based on feedback, and develop more sophisticated error-margin analysis methodologies.
