• Abstract summary: We propose a slot attention-based classifier called SCOUTER for transparent yet accurate classification. SCOUTER's explanation is involved in the final confidence for each category, offering more intuitive interpretation. We design a new loss tailored for SCOUTER that controls the model's behavior to switch between positive and negative explanations.

• Abstract: Explainable artificial intelligence has been gaining attention in the past few years. However, most existing methods are based on gradients or intermediate features, which are not directly involved in the decision-making process of the classifier. In this paper, we propose a slot attention-based classifier called SCOUTER for transparent yet accurate classification. Two major differences from other attention-based methods include: (a) SCOUTER's explanation is involved in the final confidence for each category, offering more intuitive interpretation, and (b) all the categories have their corresponding positive or negative explanation, which tells "why the image is of a certain category" or "why the image is not of a certain category." We design a new loss tailored for SCOUTER that controls the model's behavior to switch between positive and negative explanations, as well as the size of explanatory regions. Experimental results show that SCOUTER can give better visual explanations in terms of various metrics while keeping good accuracy on small and medium-sized datasets.

  We introduce ESCOUTER, a visually explainable classifier based on the modified slot attention mechanism. ESCOUTER distinguishes itself by not only delivering high classification accuracy but also offering more transparent insights into the reasoning behind its decisions. A novel loss function specifically for ESCOUTER is designed to fine-tune the model's behavior, enabling it to toggle between positive and negative explanations.

We propose a novel Dual Feature Augmentation Network (DFAN), which comprises two feature augmentation modules.

  Existing works in self-supervised landmark detection are based on learning dense (pixel-level) feature representations from an image. We introduce an approach to enhance the learning of dense equivariant representations in a self-supervised fashion. We show that having such a prior in the feature extractor helps in landmark detection, even under drastically limited number of annotations.
