Making interpretations useful (CDEP) 🔨

Regularizes interpretations (computed via contextual decomposition) to improve neural networks. Official code for Interpretations are useful: penalizing explanations to align neural networks with prior knowledges (ICML 2020 pdf).







Note: this repo is actively maintained. For any questions please file an issue.

# documentation

- fully-contained data/models/code for reproducing and experimenting with CDEP
- the [src](src) folder contains the core code for running and penalizing contextual decomposition
- in addition, we run experiments on 4 datasets, each of which are located in their own folders
- notebooks in these folders show demos for different kinds of text

# examples

[ISIC skin-cancer classification](isic-skin-cancer) - using CDEP, we can learn to avoid spurious patches present in the training set, improving test performance!



The segmentation maps of the patches can be downloaded [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Er2PQMwmDSmg3BThyeu-JKX442OkQJit?usp=sharing)

[ColorMNIST](mnist) - penalizing the contributions of individual pixels allows us to teach a network to learn a digit's shape instead of its color, improving its test accuracy from 0.5% to 25.1%



[Fixing text gender biases](text) - CDEP can help to learn spurious biases in a dataset, such as gendered words



# using CDEP on your own data

using CDEP requires two steps:
1. run CD/ACD on your model. Specifically, 3 things must be altered:
- the pred_ims function must be replaced by a function you write using your own trained model. This function gets predictions from a model given a batch of examples.
- the model must be replaced with your model
- the current CD implementation doesn't always work for all types of networks. If you are getting an error inside of `cd.py`, you may need to write a custom function that iterates through the layers of your network (for examples see `cd.py`)
2. add CD scores to the loss function (see notebooks)
