• Abstract: Concept-based explanations aims to fill the model interpretability gap for non-technical humans-in-the-loop. Previous work has focused on providing concepts for specific models (eg, neural networks) or data types (eg, images), and by either trying to extract concepts from an already trained network or training self-explainable models through multi-task learning. In this work, we propose ConceptDistil, a method to bring concept explanations to any black-box classifier using knowledge distillation. ConceptDistil is decomposed into two components:(1) a concept model that predicts which domain concepts are present in a given instance, and (2) a distillation model that tries to mimic the predictions of a black-box model using the concept model predictions. We validate ConceptDistil in a real world use-case, showing that it is able to optimize both tasks, bringing concept-explainability to any black-box model.

  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have been proposed to address the 'black-box' problem of deep neural networks. We propose a novel CBM approach -- called Discover-then-Name-CBM (DN-CBM) -- that inverts the typical paradigm. Our concept extraction strategy is efficient, since it is agnostic to the downstream task, and uses concepts already known to the model.

  We propose a Separable Multi-concept Eraser (SepME) to eliminate unsafe concepts from large-scale diffusion models. The latter separates optimizable model weights, making each weight increment correspond to a specific concept erasure. Extensive experiments indicate the efficacy of our approach in eliminating concepts, preserving model performance, and offering flexibility in the erasure or recovery of various concepts.

  We propose a knowledge-aware neuron interpretation framework to explain model predictions for image scene classification. For concept completeness, we present core concepts of a scene based on knowledge graph, ConceptNet, to gauge the completeness of concepts. For concept fusion, we introduce a knowledge graph-based method known as Concept Filtering, which produces over 23% point gain on neuron behaviors for neuron interpretation.
