• Abstract summary: We present a new model, training procedure and architecture to create precise maps of distinction between two classes of images. Our proposed architecture is based on image decomposition, where the output is the sum of multiple generative networks (branched-GANs) This approach allows clear, precise and interpretable visualization of the unique characteristics of each class.

• Abstract: We present a new model, training procedure and architecture to create precise maps of distinction between two classes of images. The objective is to comprehend, in pixel-wise resolution, the unique characteristics of a class. These maps can facilitate self-supervised segmentation and objectdetection in addition to new capabilities in explainable AI (XAI). Our proposed architecture is based on image decomposition, where the output is the sum of multiple generative networks (branched-GANs). The distinction between classes is isolated in a dedicated branch. This approach allows clear, precise and interpretable visualization of the unique characteristics of each class. We show how our generic method can be used in several modalities for various tasks, such as MRI brain tumor extraction, isolating cars in aerial photography and obtaining feminine and masculine face features. This is a preliminary report of our initial findings and results.

  State-of-the-art classifiers for facial expression recognition (FER) lack interpretability, an important feature for end-users. A new learning strategy is proposed to explicitly incorporate AU cues into classifier training, allowing to train deep interpretable models. Our new strategy is generic, and can be applied to any deep CNN- or transformer-based classifier without requiring any architectural change or significant additional training time.

  We analyze a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained in the classification task and present an algorithm to extract the diffusion pathways of individual pixels. We find that the few largest pathways of an individual pixel from an image tend to cross the feature maps in each layer that is important for classification.

Our method is capable of modeling video (in a streaming setting) and thereby learns to track object instances automatically.

We leverage so-called power-normalized second-order base learner streams combined with features that express multiple levels of visual abstraction. We demonstrate respectable results on standard datasets such as Omniglot, mini-ImageNet, tiered-ImageNet, Open MIC, fine-grained datasets such as CUB Birds, Stanford Dogs and Cars, and action recognition datasets such as HMDB51, UCF101, and mini-MIT.
