Presenting Large Language Models as Companions Affects What Mental Capacities People Attribute to Them

Allison Chen, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Angel Franyutti +4

How might messages about large language models (LLMs) found in public discourse influence the way people think about and interact with these models? To explore this question, we ra…

Interactivity x Explainability: Toward Understanding How Interactivity Can Improve Computer Vision Explanations

Indu Panigrahi, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Amna Liaqat +4

Explanations for computer vision models are important tools for interpreting how the underlying models work. However, they are often presented in static formats, which pose challen…

Humans, AI, and Context: Understanding End-Users' Trust in a Real-World Computer Vision Application

Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Elizabeth Anne Watkins, Olga Russakovsky +2

Trust is an important factor in people's interactions with AI systems. However, there is a lack of empirical studies examining how real end-users trust or distrust the AI system th…

UFO: A unified method for controlling Understandability and Faithfulness Objectives in concept-based explanations for CNNs

Vikram V. Ramaswamy, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Ruth Fong +1

Concept-based explanations for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) aim to explain model behavior and outputs using a pre-defined set of semantic concepts (e.g., the model recogniz…

"Help Me Help the AI": Understanding How Explainability Can Support Human-AI Interaction

Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Elizabeth Anne Watkins, Olga Russakovsky +2

Despite the proliferation of explainable AI (XAI) methods, little is understood about end-users' explainability needs and behaviors around XAI explanations. To address this gap and…

Overlooked factors in concept-based explanations: Dataset choice, concept learnability, and human capability

Vikram V. Ramaswamy, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Ruth Fong +1

Concept-based interpretability methods aim to explain deep neural network model predictions using a predefined set of semantic concepts. These methods evaluate a trained model on a…

ELUDE: Generating interpretable explanations via a decomposition into labelled and unlabelled features

Vikram V. Ramaswamy, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Nicole Meister +2

Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in different areas of machine learning over the past decade; however, the size and complexity of these models make them diffic…

HIVE: Evaluating the Human Interpretability of Visual Explanations

Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Nicole Meister, Vikram V. Ramaswamy +2

As AI technology is increasingly applied to high-impact, high-risk domains, there have been a number of new methods aimed at making AI models more human interpretable. Despite the…

Cleaning and Structuring the Label Space of the iMet Collection 2020

Vivien Nguyen, Sunnie S. Y. Kim

The iMet 2020 dataset is a valuable resource in the space of fine-grained art attribution recognition, but we believe it has yet to reach its true potential. We document the unique…

[Re] Don't Judge an Object by Its Context: Learning to Overcome Contextual Bias

Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Sharon Zhang, Nicole Meister +1

Singh et al. (2020) point out the dangers of contextual bias in visual recognition datasets. They propose two methods, CAM-based and feature-split, that better recognize an object…

Information-Theoretic Segmentation by Inpainting Error Maximization

Pedro Savarese, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Michael Maire +2

We study image segmentation from an information-theoretic perspective, proposing a novel adversarial method that performs unsupervised segmentation by partitioning images into maxi…

Fair Attribute Classification through Latent Space De-biasing

Vikram V. Ramaswamy, Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Olga Russakovsky

Fairness in visual recognition is becoming a prominent and critical topic of discussion as recognition systems are deployed at scale in the real world. Models trained from data in…

Deformable Style Transfer

Sunnie S. Y. Kim, Nicholas Kolkin, Jason Salavon +1

Both geometry and texture are fundamental aspects of visual style. Existing style transfer methods, however, primarily focus on texture, almost entirely ignoring geometry. We propo…
