Concept-based XAI reveals DNN weaknesses and dataset biases

Researchers have explored the use of Concept-based Explainable AI (CXAI) methods to understand the learning weaknesses and biases in deep neural networks (DNNs) used for multi-label image classification. By training VGG16 and ResNet50 models on the MS-COCO dataset and applying CXAI techniques like CRP and CRAFT, the study found that higher concept distinctiveness can reduce confusion in both labels and concepts. The analysis also highlighted how environmental concepts within the dataset can expose inherent biases in the models. AI

IMPACT Provides methods to diagnose and potentially mitigate biases in AI models, crucial for trustworthy AI deployment.
