Foundations of Interpretable Models
Pietro Barbiero, Mateo Espinosa Zarlenga, Alberto Termine +2
We argue that existing definitions of interpretability are not actionable in that they fail to inform users about general, sound, and robust interpretable model design. This makes…
Addressing Concept Mislabeling in Concept Bottleneck Models Through Preference Optimization
Emiliano Penaloza, Tianyue H. Zhang, Laurent Charlin +1
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) propose to enhance the trustworthiness of AI systems by constraining their decisions on a set of human-understandable concepts. However, CBMs typic…
Avoiding Leakage Poisoning: Concept Interventions Under Distribution Shifts
Mateo Espinosa Zarlenga, Gabriele Dominici, Pietro Barbiero +2
In this paper, we investigate how concept-based models (CMs) respond to out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. CMs are interpretable neural architectures that first predict a set of hig…
Deferring Concept Bottleneck Models: Learning to Defer Interventions to Inaccurate Experts
Andrea Pugnana, Riccardo Massidda, Francesco Giannini +6
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) are machine learning models that improve interpretability by grounding their predictions on human-understandable concepts, allowing for targeted in…
Neural Interpretable Reasoning
Pietro Barbiero, Giuseppe Marra, Gabriele Ciravegna +5
We formalize a novel modeling framework for achieving interpretability in deep learning, anchored in the principle of inference equivariance. While the direct verification of inter…
Efficient Bias Mitigation Without Privileged Information
Mateo Espinosa Zarlenga, Swami Sankaranarayanan, Jerone T. A. Andrews +3
Deep neural networks trained via empirical risk minimisation often exhibit significant performance disparities across groups, particularly when group and task labels are spuriously…
