H-Sets framework uncovers feature interactions in image classifiers

Researchers have developed H-Sets, a new framework designed to uncover and attribute higher-order feature interactions within image classifiers. This method moves beyond analyzing individual features to understand how groups of features collectively influence a model's output. H-Sets utilizes input Hessians to detect interacting feature pairs and then merges them into coherent sets, employing a set-level extension of Integrated Directional Gradients for attribution. Evaluations on various models and datasets indicate that H-Sets produce more interpretable and faithful saliency maps compared to existing techniques. AI
