• Title: DiG-IN: Diffusion Guidance for Investigating Networks -- Uncovering Classifier Differences Neuron Visualisations and Visual Counterfactual Explanations
• Authors: Maximilian Augustin, Yannic Neuhaus, Matthias Hein,
• Abstract summary: Deep learning has led to huge progress in complex image classification tasks like ImageNet, unexpected failure modes, e.g. via spurious features. For safety-critical tasks the black-box nature of their decisions is problematic, and explanations or at least methods which make decisions plausible are needed urgently. We address these problems by generating images that optimize a classifier-derived objective using a framework for guided image generation.

• Abstract: While deep learning has led to huge progress in complex image classification tasks like ImageNet, unexpected failure modes, e.g. via spurious features, call into question how reliably these classifiers work in the wild. Furthermore, for safety-critical tasks the black-box nature of their decisions is problematic, and explanations or at least methods which make decisions plausible are needed urgently. In this paper, we address these problems by generating images that optimize a classifier-derived objective using a framework for guided image generation. We analyze the decisions of image classifiers by visual counterfactual explanations (VCEs), detection of systematic mistakes by analyzing images where classifiers maximally disagree, and visualization of neurons and spurious features. In this way, we validate existing observations, e.g. the shape bias of adversarially robust models, as well as novel failure modes, e.g. systematic errors of zero-shot CLIP classifiers. Moreover, our VCEs outperform previous work while being more versatile.

  Image Quality Assessment (IQA) models benefit significantly from semantic information, which allows them to treat different types of objects distinctly. Traditional methods, hindered by a lack of sufficiently annotated data, have employed the CLIP image-text pretraining model as their backbone to gain semantic awareness. Recent approaches have attempted to address this mismatch using prompt technology, but these solutions have shortcomings. This paper introduces an innovative multi-modal prompt-based methodology for IQA.

  Visual Counterfactual Explanations (VCEs) are an important tool to understand the decisions of an image. Current approaches for the generation of VCEs are restricted to adversarially robust models and often contain non-realistic artefacts. In this paper, we overcome this by generating Visual Diffusion Counterfactual Explanations (DVCEs) for arbitrary ImageNet classifiers.

  This study proposes to transform the identification problem into an image recognition problem, with a potential to detect conception-free, machine-driven landscape features. We address it as a supervised multi-class image recognition problem and apply basic artificial neural network models to solve it. This evident successful learning is another step toward automated feature extraction and local structure deduction of BBO problems.
