CWOX-2s (Two-Stage Contrastive Whole-output Explanation) is a novel explanation framework where one can examine the evidence for competing classes, and thereby obtains contrastive explanations for Image Classification (see paper for details and citations).
Requirement:
The main part of the codes is based PyTorch, please refer to the requirements.txt for the detailed requirements of package version;
The building of hierarchical latent tree model (HLTM) in part A requires Java 11 and Scala 2.12.12.
In the following, we give the step-by-step tutorial for generating the CWOX-2s explanations.
CWOX-2s has a preprocessing step that partitions all class labels into confusion clusters with respect to the classifier to be explained. Classes in each of those clusters (e.g., cello, violin) are confusing to the classifier, and are often competing labels for the same object/region in the input image. CWOX-2s does so by analyzing the co-occurrence of labels in classification results and thereby building a hierarchical latent tree model (HLTM):
The codes for learning HLTMs are given in the sub-directory HLTM, along with the structures of the models obtained for ResNet50 and GoogleNet. The HLTM codes output a json file named output_name_fullname.nodes.json, which includes the learned hierarchical latent tree model. The json file is used in the following partition of label confusion clusters. The ResNet50.json in the example code shown below is renamed from the output_name_fullname.nodes.json.
When interpreting the output of the classifier on a target image, CWOX-2s obtains a subtree for the top classes by removing from the HLTM all the irrelevant nodes. The top classes are partitioned into Label Confusion Clusters by cutting the subtree at a certain level, the default being the lowest level. This is how the two clusters in Figure 1 are obtained from the tree in Figure 2.
The example codes for partitioning the top classes are given below:
'''
Partition the Top-k labels into different clusters.
User can select different cut_level to be used. In default, we apply the latent node in lowest level (cut_level=0) to divide the top classes into clusters.
The JSON files including the HLTM information we obtained for ImageNet Image Classification: ResNet50.json and GoogleNet.json can be found in
https://github.com/xie-lin-li/CWOX/blob/main/HLTM/result_json or https://github.com/xie-lin-li/CWOX/tree/main/resources
'''
from CWOX.apply_hltm import *
clusterify_resnet50 = apply_hltm(cut_level=0,json_path="ResNet50.json")
'''
An Example: the top-5 prediction classes for eval_image/cello_guitar.jpg by ResNet50
486-cello 889-violin 402-acoustic guitar 420-banjo 546-electric guitar
The index for specified class can be checked in imagenet_class_index.json
'''
top_k=[486,889,402,420,546]
cluster_resnet50 = clusterify_resnet50.get_cluster(top_k)
print(cluster_resnet50)
'''
Output Results: [[486, 889], [402, 420, 546]],
which indicates that the top-5 classes are divided into two clusters suggested by the ResNet50 HLTM lowest-level latent node:
Cluster 1: cello, violin;
Cluster 2: acoustic guitar, banjo, electric guitar.
'''For the following discussions, we assume the top classes for an input x are partitioned into clusters: .
CWOX-2s requires a base explainer, which can be any existing explanation methods, such as Grad-CAM, MWP, LIME and RISE, that yield nonnegative heatmaps. CWOX-2s first runs the base explainer on the confusion clusters (C_i’s) and the individual classes (c_ij’s), and then combines the base heatmaps to form contrastive heatmaps.
A score function is needed in order to produce a base heatmap for a class c. It is usually either the logit of the class (for Grad-CAM and MWP) or the probability
of the class (for RISE and LIME). For confusion clusters, the logit is replaced by the generalized logit
and the probability is replaced by the probability of the cluster
.
