Actionable Interpretability Must Be Defined in Terms of Symmetries
Pietro Barbiero, Mateo Espinosa Zarlenga, Francesco Giannini +4
This paper argues that interpretability research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally ill-posed as existing definitions of interpretability fail to describe how interpr…
The Standard Interpretable Model: A general theory of interpretable machine learning to deductively design interpretable methods using Lagrangian mechanics
Pietro Barbiero, Giovanni De Felice, Mateo Espinosa Zarlenga +5
As Artificial Intelligence models grow in complexity, interpretability has become an indispensable tool for understanding, debugging, and controlling their computations. However, i…
Mixture of Concept Bottleneck Experts
Francesco De Santis, Gabriele Ciravegna, Giovanni De Felice +7
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) promote interpretability by grounding predictions in human-understandable concepts. However, existing CBMs typically constrain their task predictor…
Interpretability in Deep Time Series Models Demands Semantic Alignment
Giovanni De Felice, Riccardo D'Elia, Alberto Termine +3
Deep time series models continue to improve predictive performance, yet their deployment remains limited by their black-box nature. In response, existing interpretability approache…
Prototype-Grounded Concept Models for Verifiable Concept Alignment
Stefano Colamonaco, David Debot, Pietro Barbiero +1
Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) aim to improve interpretability in Deep Learning by structuring predictions through human-understandable concepts, but they provide no way to verif…
Causally Reliable Concept Bottleneck Models
Giovanni De Felice, Arianna Casanova Flores, Francesco De Santis +4
Concept-based models are an emerging paradigm in deep learning that constrains the inference process to operate through human-interpretable variables, facilitating explainability a…
