Mask Interpreter models and example data
Abstract
Deep learning models often operate as "black boxes," making it difficult to understand which input features drive their predictions. MaskInterpreter addresses this by learning a mask generator network that identifies important regions through a novel training objective: Preserve predictions: Important regions (high mask values) should be sufficient to maintain the model's original prediction Minimize mask size: The mask should be as minimal as possible, highlighting only truly essential regions Target correlation: Predictions on masked inputs should maintain a specified correlation with original predictions Key Features Self-supervised training - No ground truth explanations needed Model-agnostic - Works with any differentiable predictor (classifiers, regressors, image-to-image models) Quantifiable explanations - Mask efficacy measured via Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) The Repo includes Trained models Example data Train and test lists of the full data
