Normalized Relevance Measure as a Unifying Framework to Explain Neural Network Latent Structures
Ping Xiong, Thomas Schnake, Grégoire Montavon +2
To understand how a neural network (NN) functions and makes predictions, it has become increasingly clear that analyzing only the input domain is insufficient -- one must also exam…
Conveyance: A Versatile Framework for Learning in Structured Class Spaces
Yasser Taha, Grégoire Montavon, Nils Körber
While machine learning (ML) architectures have evolved rapidly to account for complex data, loss functions like cross-entropy remain mostly structure-agnostic in many real-world ap…
Relevant Walk Search for Explaining Graph Neural Networks
Ping Xiong, Thomas Schnake, Michael Gastegger +3
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become important machine learning tools for graph analysis, and its explainability is crucial for safety, fairness, and robustness. Layer-wise rel…
Wasserstein Distances Made Explainable: Insights Into Dataset Shifts and Transport Phenomena
Philip Naumann, Jacob Kauffmann, Grégoire Montavon
Wasserstein distances provide a powerful framework for comparing data distributions. They can be used to analyze processes over time or to detect inhomogeneities within data. Howev…
Investigating the Robustness of Subtask Distillation under Spurious Correlation
Pattarawat Chormai, Klaus-Robert Müller, Grégoire Montavon
Subtask distillation is an emerging paradigm in which compact, specialized models are extracted from large, general-purpose 'foundation models' for deployment in environments with…
Distilling Lightweight Domain Experts from Large ML Models by Identifying Relevant Subspaces
Pattarawat Chormai, Ali Hashemi, Klaus-Robert Müller +1
Knowledge distillation involves transferring the predictive capabilities of large, high-performing AI models (teachers) to smaller models (students) that can operate in environment…
