• Abstract: To understand how deep neural networks perform classification predictions, recent research attention has been focusing on developing techniques to offer desirable explanations. However, most existing methods cannot be easily applied for semantic segmentation; moreover, they are not designed to offer interpretability under the multi-annotator setting. Instead of viewing ground-truth pixel-level labels annotated by a single annotator with consistent labeling tendency, we aim at providing interpretable semantic segmentation and answer two critical yet practical questions: "who" contributes to the resulting segmentation, and "why" such an assignment is determined. In this paper, we present a learning framework of Tendency-and-Assignment Explainer (TAX), designed to offer interpretability at the annotator and assignment levels. More specifically, we learn convolution kernel subsets for modeling labeling tendencies of each type of annotation, while a prototype bank is jointly observed to offer visual guidance for learning the above kernels. For evaluation, we consider both synthetic and real-world datasets with multi-annotators. We show that our TAX can be applied to state-of-the-art network architectures with comparable performances, while segmentation interpretability at both levels can be offered accordingly.

  Our study introduces a novel deep active learning strategy, capitalizing on the Beta family of proper scoring rules within the Expected Loss Reduction framework. It computes the expected increase in scores using the Beta Scoring Rules, which are then transformed into sample vector representations. Comprehensive evaluations across both synthetic and real datasets reveal our method's capability to often outperform established acquisition techniques in multi-label text classification.

  We propose a novel weakly supervised multi-task framework called AuxSegNet to leverage saliency detection and multi-label image classification as auxiliary tasks. Inspired by their similar structured semantics, we also propose to learn a cross-task global pixel-level affinity map from the saliency and segmentation representations. The learned cross-task affinity can be used to refine saliency predictions and propagate CAM maps to provide improved pseudo labels for both tasks.
