Concept Filtering

Concept filtering refines the selection and use of concepts within machine learning models, aiming to improve model performance, interpretability, and safety. Current research focuses on developing robust filtering methods, particularly for context-dependent concepts in image segmentation and text-to-image generation, often leveraging large language and multimodal models to automatically generate and evaluate concept relevance. This work is significant because effective concept filtering enhances model accuracy, facilitates human understanding of model decisions (especially crucial in medical applications), and mitigates risks associated with undesirable or biased concepts in training data.
