• Abstract: Path loss prediction is a beneficial tool for efficient use of the radio frequency spectrum. Building on prior research on high-resolution map-based path loss models, this paper studies convolutional neural network input representations in more detail. We investigate different methods of representing scalar features in convolutional neural networks. Specifically, we compare using frequency and distance as input channels to convolutional layers or as scalar inputs to regression layers. We assess model performance using three different feature configurations and find that representing scalar features as image channels results in the strongest generalization.

  This paper introduces feature gradient flow, a new technique for interpreting deep learning models in terms of features that are understandable to humans. We measure the agreement of interpretable features with the gradient flow of a model. We develop a technique for training neural networks to be more interpretable by adding a regularization term to the loss function.
