• Abstract summary: In this work, model explanations are fed back to the feed-forward training to help the model generalize better. The framework incorporates the custom weighted loss with Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) to maintain performance in sequential testing sets. The proposed custom training procedure results in a consistent enhancement of accuracy ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% throughout all phases of the incremental learning setup.

• Abstract: Explainability of neural network prediction is essential to understand feature importance and gain interpretable insight into neural network performance. However, explanations of neural network outcomes are mostly limited to visualization, and there is scarce work that looks to use these explanations as feedback to improve model performance. In this work, model explanations are fed back to the feed-forward training to help the model generalize better. To this extent, a custom weighted loss where the weights are generated by considering the Euclidean distances between true LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) explanations and model-predicted LIME explanations is proposed. Also, in practical training scenarios, developing a solution that can help the model learn sequentially without losing information on previous data distribution is imperative due to the unavailability of all the training data at once. Thus, the framework incorporates the custom weighted loss with Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC) to maintain performance in sequential testing sets. The proposed custom training procedure results in a consistent enhancement of accuracy ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% throughout all phases of the incremental learning setup compared to traditional loss-based training methods for the keyword spotting task using the Google Speech Commands dataset.

Our framework then promotes the model learning by paying closer attention to those training samples with a high difference in explanations.

  We introduce Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn (LURE) an online learning paradigm for deep neural networks (DNNs) LURE interchanges between the unlearning phase, which selectively forgets the undesirable information in the model, and the relearning phase, which emphasizes learning on generalizable features. We show that our training paradigm provides consistent performance gains across datasets in both classification and few-shot settings.

  Fine-tuning a pre-trained model on the target data is widely used in many deep learning applications.

We propose a novel selection strategy to select a subset from pre-training data to help improve the generalization on the target task.
