• Title: Listenable Maps for Audio Classifiers
• Authors: Francesco Paissan, Mirco Ravanelli, Cem Subakan,
• Abstract summary: We introduce Listenable Maps for Audios (L-MAC), a posthoc interpretation method that generates faithful and listenable interpretations. L-MAC utilizes a decoder on top of a pretrained classifier to generate binary masks that highlight relevant portions of the input audio. We show that L-MAC consistently produces more faithful interpretations than several gradient and masking-based methodologies.

• Abstract: Despite the impressive performance of deep learning models across diverse tasks, their complexity poses challenges for interpretation. This challenge is particularly evident for audio signals, where conveying interpretations becomes inherently difficult. To address this issue, we introduce Listenable Maps for Audio Classifiers (L-MAC), a posthoc interpretation method that generates faithful and listenable interpretations. L-MAC utilizes a decoder on top of a pretrained classifier to generate binary masks that highlight relevant portions of the input audio. We train the decoder with a loss function that maximizes the confidence of the classifier decision on the masked-in portion of the audio while minimizing the probability of model output for the masked-out portion. Quantitative evaluations on both in-domain and out-of-domain data demonstrate that L-MAC consistently produces more faithful interpretations than several gradient and masking-based methodologies. Furthermore, a user study confirms that, on average, users prefer the interpretations generated by the proposed technique.

  Deepfakes are realistic face manipulations that can pose serious threats to security, privacy, and trust. Existing methods mostly treat this task as binary classification, which uses digital labels or mask signals to train the detection model. We propose a novel paradigm named Visual-Linguistic Face Forgery Detection(VLFFD), which uses fine-grained sentence-level prompts as the annotation.

  This paper tackles two major problem settings for interpretability of audio processing networks. For post-hoc interpretation, we aim to interpret decisions of a network in terms of high-level audio objects that are also listenable for the end-user. We propose a novel interpreter design that incorporates non-negative matrix factorization (NMF)

  We propose a framework for the robust end-to-end semantic communication systems to combat the semantic noise. To combat the semantic noise, the adversarial training with weight is developed to incorporate the samples with semantic noise in the training dataset. We develop a feature importance module (FIM) to suppress the noise-related and task-unrelated features.

  In this work, we incorporate this binary information of "existence of noise" as treatment into image classification tasks to improve prediction accuracy. Motivated from causal variational inference, we propose a transformer-based architecture, that uses a latent generative model to estimate robust feature representations for noise image classification. We also create new noisy image datasets incorporating a wide range of noise factors for performance benchmarking.

  We augment the denoising score matching framework to enable representation learning without any supervised signal. In contrast, the introduced diffusion-based representation learning relies on a new formulation of the denoising score matching objective. Using the same approach, we propose to learn an infinite-dimensional latent code that achieves improvements of state-of-the-art models on semi-supervised image classification.
