ICON Decomposition: Auditing Deep Neural Networks with Multivariate Variance-based Concept-level Explanations

Roshan Prakash Rane, Marco Simnacher, Manuel Pfeuffer +7

Deep neural networks often exploit spurious associations, a failure known as shortcut learning. Auditing for shortcuts requires testing many candidate concepts, such as acquisition…

Controlling for Omitted Variable Bias in Deep Neural Networks

Manuel Pfeuffer, Roshan Prakash Rane, Kerstin Ritter +1

Control variables are widely used in statistical modelling to account for omitted variable bias of known confounders. However, they have largely been underexplored in deep learning…

Deep Shape Regression for Planar Curves with Multimodal Covariates

Manuel Pfeuffer, Roshan Prakash Rane, Hadya Yassin +2

The shape of a planar curve is the geometric information that remains once translation, rotation, scale and reparametrisation are removed and is of interest in many health applicat…

Better than Average: Spatially-Aware Aggregation of Segmentation Uncertainty Improves Downstream Performance

Vanessa Emanuela Guarino, Claudia Winklmayr, Jannik Franzen +7

Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is crucial for ensuring the reliability of automated image segmentations in safety-critical domains like biomedical image analysis or autonomous dri…
