• Abstract: Recent years have seen a growing interest in methods for predicting an unknown variable of interest, such as a subject's diagnosis, from medical images depicting its anatomical-functional effects. Methods based on discriminative modeling excel at making accurate predictions, but are challenged in their ability to explain their decisions in anatomically meaningful terms. In this paper, we propose a simple technique for single-subject prediction that is inherently interpretable. It augments the generative models used in classical human brain mapping techniques, in which the underlying cause-effect relations can be encoded, with a multivariate noise model that captures dominant spatial correlations. Experiments demonstrate that the resulting model can be efficiently inverted to make accurate subject-level predictions, while at the same time offering intuitive visual explanations of its inner workings. The method is easy to use: training is fast for typical training set sizes, and only a single hyperparameter needs to be set by the user.

  Multi-modal regression is important in forecasting nonstationary processes or with a complex mixture of distributions. A Structured Radial Basis Function Network is presented as an ensemble of multiple hypotheses predictors for regression problems. It is proved that this structured model can efficiently interpolate this tessellation and approximate the multiple hypotheses target distribution.

  Differentiable causal discovery has proposed to factorize the data generating process into a set of modules. We study the generalization and adaption performance of such modular neural causal models. Our analysis shows that the modular neural causal models outperform other models on both zero and few-shot adaptation in low data regimes.

We describe a piecewise-linear curve-fitting algorithm that produces high-quality results efficiently and reliably across a broad range of use cases.

By shifting the latent representation of an input image along this direction, we can produce a series of new synthetic images with changed predictions.

  We propose a hybrid interpretable model that combines a piecewise linear component and a nonlinear component. The first component describes the explicit feature contributions by piecewise linear approximation to increase the expressiveness of the model. The other component uses a multi-layer perceptron to capture feature interactions and implicit nonlinearity, and increase the prediction performance.
