Part Prototype Network

Part-prototype networks are a class of machine learning models designed to improve the interpretability of deep learning classifiers while maintaining competitive accuracy. Current research focuses on enhancing the robustness and faithfulness of these networks across diverse applications, including medical image analysis and text classification, often employing techniques like prototype discovery and refinement, and multimodal integration. This work aims to bridge the gap between the high accuracy of "black box" models and the need for transparent and understandable decision-making processes, with implications for building trust in AI systems and facilitating human-in-the-loop debugging. The development of robust evaluation metrics for interpretability is also a key area of ongoing investigation.
