• Abstract: Foundation models like chatGPT have demonstrated remarkable performance on various tasks. However, for many questions, they may produce false answers that look accurate. How do we train the model to precisely understand the concepts? In this paper, we introduce succinct representations of concepts based on category theory. Such representation yields concept-wise invariance properties under various tasks, resulting a new learning algorithm that can provably and accurately learn complex concepts or fix misconceptions. Moreover, by recursively expanding the succinct representations, one can generate a hierarchical decomposition, and manually verify the concept by individually examining each part inside the decomposition.

  Interpretability of Deep Neural Networks using concept-based models offers a promising way to explain model behavior through human-understandable concepts. A parallel line of research focuses on disentangling the data distribution into its underlying generative factors, in turn explaining the data generation process. While both directions have received extensive attention, little work has been done on explaining concepts in terms of generative factors to unify mathematically disentangled representations and human-understandable concepts.

• Explaining Explainability: Understanding Concept Activation Vectors [35.37586279472797]
  Recent interpretability methods propose using concept-based explanations to translate internal representations of deep learning models into a language that humans are familiar with: concepts. This requires understanding which concepts are present in the representation space of a neural network. In this work, we investigate three properties of Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs), which are learnt using a probe dataset of concept exemplars. We introduce tools designed to detect the presence of these properties, provide insight into how they affect the derived explanations, and provide recommendations to minimise their impact.

  This paper presents a new symbolic-only method for the generation of hierarchical concept structures from complex sensory data.

The model is able to produce fairly rich yet human-readable conceptual representations without training.

  Concept learning constructs visual representations that are connected to linguistic semantics. We ascribe the bottleneck to a failure of exploring the intrinsic semantic hierarchy of visual concepts. We propose a visual superordinate abstraction framework for explicitly modeling semantic-aware visual subspaces.

  Generalization to out-of-distribution data has been a problem for Visual Question Answering (VQA) models. "Skills" are visual tasks, such as counting or attribute recognition, and are applied to "concepts" mentioned in the question. We present a novel method for learning to compose skills and concepts that separates these two factors implicitly within a model.

  We study how people learn different types of visual compositions, using abstract visual forms with rich relational structure. We find that people can make meaningful compositional generalizations from just a few examples in a variety of scenarios. Unlike past work examining special cases of compositionality, our work shows how a single computational approach can account for many distinct types of compositional generalization.
