New framework links audio classifier neurons to symbolic concepts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel neurosymbolic framework to interpret the hidden representations within deep audio classifiers. This model-agnostic approach analyzes the final hidden layer of classifiers, associating individual neurons with human-understandable symbolic acoustic concepts. Evaluations on music genre and instrument classification datasets demonstrated that several neurons could be linked to meaningful induced concepts, with statistical support for most confirmed neuron-concept pairs.

    Bridging Neural Representations and Symbolic Semantics in Audio Classification

    Deep audio classifiers can achieve strong predictive performance, but their hidden representations remain difficult to interpret. Existing audio explainability methods often focus on input-level attribution, such as waveform segments, spectrogram regions, or acoustic features, an…
