Researchers have introduced Caption Bottleneck Models (CaBM), a novel framework designed to enhance interpretability in machine learning by using natural language captions instead of predefined concept sets. Unlike traditional Concept Bottleneck Models (CBMs) that require expert-defined or LLM-generated concept lists, CaBM leverages free-form text generated by large multimodal models. This approach ensures a leakage-free architecture by training classifiers strictly on image-derived captions, and it autonomously discovers dataset-specific concepts post-training. Experiments show CaBM achieves competitive accuracy while maintaining interpretability without the limitations of external dictionaries or manual labeling. AI
