Seeing Through Distractions: Context-Stable Attribution via the Least Core

Sai Ganesh Nagarajan, Toshinori Yamauchi, Hiroshi Kera

Shapley-value-based explanations are widely used for feature attribution in machine learning. However, in computer vision, a feature may reduce the target-class score when added to…

Rethinking Least-Core Computation in Contextual-Distractor Games

Hiroshi Kera, Toshinori Yamauchi, Sai Ganesh Nagarajan

Game-theoretic attribution explains a model by assigning credit to its features or training examples. The least core has attracted interest as an alternative to Shapley-style avera…

Zero-Shot Faithful Textual Explanations via Directional-Derivative Influence on Predictions

Toshinori Yamauchi, Hiroshi Kera, Kazuhiko Kawamoto

Zero-shot textual explanations aim to make image classifiers more transparent by probing their internal representations, without relying on task-specific supervision or LVLMs. Howe…

Zero-Shot Textual Explanations via Translating Decision-Critical Features

Toshinori Yamauchi, Hiroshi Kera, Kazuhiko Kawamoto

Textual explanations make image classifier decisions transparent by describing the prediction rationale in natural language. Large vision-language models can generate captions but…

Explaining Object Detectors via Collective Contribution of Pixels

Toshinori Yamauchi, Hiroshi Kera, Kazuhiko Kawamoto

Visual explanations for object detectors are crucial for enhancing their reliability. Object detectors identify and localize instances by assessing multiple visual features collect…
