• Abstract: Existing interpretation algorithms have found that, even deep models make the same and right predictions on the same image, they might rely on different sets of input features for classification. However, among these sets of features, some common features might be used by the majority of models. In this paper, we are wondering what are the common features used by various models for classification and whether the models with better performance may favor those common features. For this purpose, our works uses an interpretation algorithm to attribute the importance of features (e.g., pixels or superpixels) as explanations, and proposes the cross-model consensus of explanations to capture the common features. Specifically, we first prepare a set of deep models as a committee, then deduce the explanation for every model, and obtain the consensus of explanations across the entire committee through voting. With the cross-model consensus of explanations, we conduct extensive experiments using 80+ models on 5 datasets/tasks. We find three interesting phenomena as follows: (1) the consensus obtained from image classification models is aligned with the ground truth of semantic segmentation; (2) we measure the similarity of the explanation result of each model in the committee to the consensus (namely consensus score), and find positive correlations between the consensus score and model performance; and (3) the consensus score coincidentally correlates to the interpretability.

  The Platonic Representation Hypothesis claims that recent foundation models are converging to a shared representation space as a function of their downstream task performance. Here, we propose a systematic way to measure how representational similarity between models varies with the set of stimuli used to construct the representations. We find that the objective function is the most crucial factor in determining the consistency of representational similarities across datasets.

  We experimentally demonstrate that classes are not equal and the fairness issue is prevalent for image classification models across various datasets. Our findings reveal that models tend to exhibit greater prediction biases for classes that are more challenging to recognize. Data augmentation and representation learning algorithms improve overall performance by promoting fairness to some degree in image classification.

  We introduce IMACS, a method that combines gradient-based model attributions with aggregation and visualization techniques. IMACS extracts salient input features from an evaluation dataset, clusters them based on similarity, then visualizes differences in model attributions for similar input features. We show how our technique can uncover behavioral differences caused by domain shift between two models trained on satellite images.

We show that every relation among features present in these partial orders also holds in the rankings provided by existing approaches.

We show that our resulting attention maps serve more than just interpretability; they can be infused into the model learning process itself with new trainable constraints.
