• Abstract: Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) enhance the interpretability of neural networks by basing predictions on human-understandable concepts. However, current CBMs typically rely on concept sets extracted from large language models or extensive image corpora, limiting their effectiveness in data-sparse scenarios. We propose Data-efficient CBMs (DCBMs), which reduce the need for large sample sizes during concept generation while preserving interpretability. DCBMs define concepts as image regions detected by segmentation or detection foundation models, allowing each image to generate multiple concepts across different granularities. This removes reliance on textual descriptions and large-scale pre-training, making DCBMs applicable for fine-grained classification and out-of-distribution tasks. Attribution analysis using Grad-CAM demonstrates that DCBMs deliver visual concepts that can be localized in test images. By leveraging dataset-specific concepts instead of predefined ones, DCBMs enhance adaptability to new domains.

  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) have been proposed to address the 'black-box' problem of deep neural networks. We propose a novel CBM approach -- called Discover-then-Name-CBM (DN-CBM) -- that inverts the typical paradigm. Our concept extraction strategy is efficient, since it is agnostic to the downstream task, and uses concepts already known to the model.

  Text-to-image (TTI) models have demonstrated impressive results in generating high-resolution images of complex scenes. Recent approaches have extended these methods with personalization techniques that allow them to integrate user-illustrated concepts. However, the ability to generate images with multiple interacting concepts, such as human subjects, as well as concepts that may be entangled in one, or across multiple, image illustrations remains illusive. We propose a concept-driven TTI personalization framework that addresses these core challenges.

• Eliminating Information Leakage in Hard Concept Bottleneck Models with Supervised, Hierarchical Concept Learning [17.982131928413096]
  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) aim to deliver interpretable and interventionable predictions by bridging features and labels with human-understandable concepts. CBMs suffer from information leakage, where unintended information beyond the concepts are leaked to the subsequent label prediction. This paper proposes a new paradigm of CBMs, namely SupCBM, which achieves label predication via predicted concepts and a deliberately-designed intervention matrix.

• Can we Constrain Concept Bottleneck Models to Learn Semantically Meaningful Input Features? [0.6401548653313325]
  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) are regarded as inherently interpretable because they first predict a set of human-defined concepts. Current literature suggests that concept predictions often rely on irrelevant input features. In this paper, we demonstrate that CBMs can learn to map concepts to semantically meaningful input features.

• ALSO: Automotive Lidar Self-supervision by Occupancy estimation [70.70557577874155]
  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.

  Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) map the inputs onto a set of interpretable concepts and use the concepts to make predictions. CBMs are restrictive in practice as they require concept labels in the training data to learn the bottleneck and do not leverage strong pretrained models. We show that we can turn any neural network into a PCBM without sacrificing model performance while still retaining interpretability benefits.
