Interpretable Deep Learning

Interpretable deep learning aims to make the decision-making processes of deep neural networks transparent and understandable, addressing the "black box" problem that hinders trust and adoption in high-stakes applications. Current research focuses on developing novel architectures like concept bottleneck models and incorporating techniques such as attention mechanisms, counterfactual explanations, and Shapley values to provide insights into model predictions. This field is crucial for building reliable and trustworthy AI systems across various domains, from healthcare and finance to neuroimaging and environmental monitoring, by enabling better understanding, validation, and debugging of complex models.
