ICON decomposition: Multivariate concept auditing reveals shortcuts that neural networks rely on
Roshan Prakash Rane, Marco Simnacher, Manuel Pfeuffer +7
Deep neural networks often exploit spurious associations, a failure known as shortcut learning. Before deployment, models should therefore be audited for reliance on concepts such…
Attribution-Guided Pruning for Insight and Control: Circuit Discovery and Targeted Correction in Small-scale LLMs
Sayed Mohammad Vakilzadeh Hatefi, Maximilian Dreyer, Reduan Achtibat +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely deployed in real-world applications, yet their internal mechanisms remain difficult to interpret and control, limiting our ability to diagno…
From What to How: Attributing CLIP's Latent Components Reveals Unexpected Semantic Reliance
Maximilian Dreyer, Lorenz Hufe, Jim Berend +3
Transformer-based CLIP models are widely used for text-image probing and feature extraction, making it relevant to understand the internal mechanisms behind their predictions. Whil…
Mechanistic understanding and validation of large AI models with SemanticLens
Maximilian Dreyer, Jim Berend, Tobias Labarta +4
Unlike human-engineered systems such as aeroplanes, where each component's role and dependencies are well understood, the inner workings of AI models remain largely opaque, hinderi…
Reactive Model Correction: Mitigating Harm to Task-Relevant Features via Conditional Bias Suppression
Dilyara Bareeva, Maximilian Dreyer, Frederik Pahde +2
Deep Neural Networks are prone to learning and relying on spurious correlations in the training data, which, for high-risk applications, can have fatal consequences. Various approa…
From Hope to Safety: Unlearning Biases of Deep Models via Gradient Penalization in Latent Space
Maximilian Dreyer, Frederik Pahde, Christopher J. Anders +2
Deep Neural Networks are prone to learning spurious correlations embedded in the training data, leading to potentially biased predictions. This poses risks when deploying these mod…
From Attribution Maps to Human-Understandable Explanations through Concept Relevance Propagation
Reduan Achtibat, Maximilian Dreyer, Ilona Eisenbraun +4
The field of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to bring transparency to today's powerful but opaque deep learning models. While local XAI methods explain individual pr…
ECQ: Explainability-Driven Quantization for Low-Bit and Sparse DNNs
Daniel Becking, Maximilian Dreyer, Wojciech Samek +2
The remarkable success of deep neural networks (DNNs) in various applications is accompanied by a significant increase in network parameters and arithmetic operations. Such increas…
