• Abstract summary: Class Activation Maps (CAMs) visualizes the importance of each feature of a data sample contributing to the classification. We aggregate CAMs from multiple samples to show a global explanation of the classification for semantically structured data. Our approach allows an analyst to detect important features of high-dimensional data and derive adjustments to the AI model based on our global explanation visualization.

• Abstract: Deep learning (DL) models achieve remarkable performance in classification tasks. However, models with high complexity can not be used in many risk-sensitive applications unless a comprehensible explanation is presented. Explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) focuses on the research to explain the decision-making of AI systems like DL. We extend a recent method of Class Activation Maps (CAMs) which visualizes the importance of each feature of a data sample contributing to the classification. In this paper, we aggregate CAMs from multiple samples to show a global explanation of the classification for semantically structured data. The aggregation allows the analyst to make sophisticated assumptions and analyze them with further drill-down visualizations. Our visual representation for the global CAM illustrates the impact of each feature with a square glyph containing two indicators. The color of the square indicates the classification impact of this feature. The size of the filled square describes the variability of the impact between single samples. For interesting features that require further analysis, a detailed view is necessary that provides the distribution of these values. We propose an interactive histogram to filter samples and refine the CAM to show relevant samples only. Our approach allows an analyst to detect important features of high-dimensional data and derive adjustments to the AI model based on our global explanation visualization.

  We propose an integrated feature analysis method to look closer into the intermediate features extracted by deep learning models. This integrated feature analysis could provide information on overfitting, confounders, outliers in datasets. The method was evaluated by calculating the consistency between the CAMs average class activation levels and the logits of the model.

  Clustering is one of the most classic approaches in machine learning and data analysis. We propose feature extraction with clustering (FEC), which views feature extraction as a process of selecting representatives from data. FEC alternates between grouping pixels into individual clusters to abstract representatives and updating the deep features of pixels with current representatives.

  We develop an open-source visual analysis tool, Uni-Evaluator, to support a unified model evaluation for classification, object detection, and instance segmentation in computer vision. The key idea behind our method is to formulate both discrete and continuous predictions in different tasks as unified probability distributions. Based on these distributions, we develop 1) a matrix-based visualization to provide an overview of model performance; 2) a table visualization to identify the problematic data subsets where the model performs poorly; and 3) a grid visualization to display the samples of interest.
