LIMEtree: Interactively Customisable Explanations Based on Local Surrogate Multi-output Regression Trees
Systems based on artificial intelligence and machine learning models should
be transparent, in the sense of being capable of explaining their decisions to
gain humans' approval and trust. While there are a number of explainability
techniques that can be used to this end, many of them are only capable of
outputting a single one-size-fits-all explanation that simply cannot address
all of the explainees' diverse needs. In this work we introduce a
model-agnostic and post-hoc local explainability technique for black-box
predictions called LIMEtree, which employs surrogate multi-output regression
trees. We validate our algorithm on a deep neural network trained for object
detection in images and compare it against Local Interpretable Model-agnostic
Explanations (LIME). Our method comes with local fidelity guarantees and can
produce a range of diverse explanation types, including contrastive and
counterfactual explanations praised in the literature. Some of these
explanations can be interactively personalised to create bespoke, meaningful
and actionable insights into the model's behaviour. While other methods may
give an illusion of customisability by wrapping, otherwise static, explanations
in an interactive interface, our explanations are truly interactive, in the
sense of allowing the user to "interrogate" a black-box model. LIMEtree can
therefore produce consistent explanations on which an interactive exploratory
process can be built
Object Detection in 20 Years: A Survey
Object detection, as of one the most fundamental and challenging problems in
computer vision, has received great attention in recent years. Its development
in the past two decades can be regarded as an epitome of computer vision
history. If we think of today's object detection as a technical aesthetics
under the power of deep learning, then turning back the clock 20 years we would
witness the wisdom of cold weapon era. This paper extensively reviews 400+
papers of object detection in the light of its technical evolution, spanning
over a quarter-century's time (from the 1990s to 2019). A number of topics have
been covered in this paper, including the milestone detectors in history,
detection datasets, metrics, fundamental building blocks of the detection
system, speed up techniques, and the recent state of the art detection methods.
This paper also reviews some important detection applications, such as
pedestrian detection, face detection, text detection, etc, and makes an in-deep
analysis of their challenges as well as technical improvements in recent years.Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE TPAMI for possible
