    OCCAM: Open-set Causal Concept explAnation and Ontology induction for black-box vision Models

    Researchers have developed OCCAM, a new framework designed to explain the decisions of black-box image classifiers. OCCAM identifies visual concepts, localizes them using text guidance, and measures their causal impact by removing them to observe changes in model confidence. This approach not only provides per-image explanations but also induces a structured concept ontology to reveal global model biases and dependencies between concepts. AI

    Occam's Razor is Only as Sharp as Your ELBO

    A new paper explores the relationship between the Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) and Occam's Razor in Bayesian model selection. The research demonstrates that ELBO-based hyperparameter learning can lead to overfitting, contrary to the principle of Occam's Razor which favors simpler models. Surprisingly, Bayesian model selection using the evidence itself sometimes prefers the overfit model, while the ELBO does not. The findings suggest that practitioners should be cautious about how reduced-rank assumptions, necessary for tractability in large models, can impact model selection. AI
