New MiSS Framework Explains 3D Point Cloud Classifier Decisions

Researchers have developed MiSS, a novel framework for explaining the decisions of 3D point cloud classifiers. This black-box system uses perturbation-relative sufficiency reasoning to identify minimal sufficient coalitions of geometric regions that contribute to a classifier's prediction. MiSS separates candidate coalition proposal from verification, employing a weighted MaxSAT procedure for proposal and a statistical oracle for verification. Experiments on ModelNet40 and ShapeNet datasets with PointNet and PointMLP classifiers demonstrated that MiSS achieves higher precision and coverage compared to existing rule-based methods, while also reducing explanation time.

    MiSS: A Logic-Driven Explanation of Minimal Sufficient Coalitions for Point Cloud Classifiers

    arXiv:2607.24074v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present MiSS, a black-box, query-based framework for explaining 3D point cloud classifiers through perturbation-relative sufficiency reasoning. MiSS treats a superpoint partition as an interpretable abstraction layer and asks whe…
