• Abstract: We propose a general framework called VisionLogic to extract interpretable logic rules from deep vision models, with a focus on image classification tasks. Given any deep vision model that uses a fully connected layer as the output head, VisionLogic transforms neurons in the last layer into predicates and grounds them into vision concepts using causal validation. In this way, VisionLogic can provide local explanations for single images and global explanations for specific classes in the form of logic rules. Compared to existing interpretable visualization tools such as saliency maps, VisionLogic addresses several key challenges, including the lack of causal explanations, overconfidence in visualizations, and ambiguity in interpretation. VisionLogic also facilitates the study of visual concepts encoded by predicates, particularly how they behave under perturbation -- an area that remains underexplored in the field of hidden semantics. Apart from providing better visual explanations and insights into the visual concepts learned by the model, we show that VisionLogic retains most of the neural network's discriminative power in an interpretable and transparent manner. We envision it as a bridge between complex model behavior and human-understandable explanations, providing trustworthy and actionable insights for real-world applications.

  LOGICSEG is a holistic visual semantic that integrates neural inductive learning and logic reasoning with both rich data and symbolic knowledge. During fuzzy logic-based continuous relaxation, logical formulae are grounded onto data and neural computational graphs, hence enabling logic-induced network training. These designs together make LOGICSEG a general and compact neural-logic machine that is readily integrated into existing segmentation models.

  Post-hoc explanation methods have often been criticised for abstracting away the decision-making process of deep neural networks. In this work, we would like to provide natural language descriptions for what different layers of a vision backbone have learned. We train a transformer network to translate individual image features of any vision layer into a prompt that a separate off-the-shelf language model decodes into natural language.

  We investigate whether end-to-end learning of visual reasoning can be achieved with general-purpose neural networks. We propose a simple and general self-supervised framework which "compresses" each video frame into a small set of tokens. We observe that pretraining is essential to achieve compositional generalization for end-to-end visual reasoning.

  We study the problem of concept induction in visual reasoning, i.e., identifying concepts and their hierarchical relationships from question-answer pairs associated with images. We first design a new framework named object-centric compositional attention model (OCCAM) to perform the visual reasoning task with object-level visual features. We then come up with a method to induce concepts of objects and relations using clues from the attention patterns between objects' visual features and question words.
