深度学习模型常被视为黑箱,尤其在计算机视觉任务中,它们处理像素张量却无法提供明确推理依据。为揭示模型决策逻辑,研究引入类激活图(CAM)以突出影响输出的关键区域。本文提出KPCA-CAM,通过结合核技巧的主成分分析(Kernel PCA),更有效地捕捉卷积神经网络(CNN)激活特征中的非线性结构。该方法将数据映射至高维空间,从变换后的超平面中提取主成分,从而获得对数据流形更准确的表示,助力理解影响模型判断的核心特征。在ILSVRC数据集上,针对多种CNN模型的实证评估表明,KPCA-CAM生成的激活图比现有方法更精确,能更清晰地揭示模型推理路径。本研究推动了CAM技术发展,为研究人员和实践者提供了深入洞察CNN决策机制的强大工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning models often function as black boxes, providing no straightforward reasoning for their predictions. This is particularly true for computer vision models, which process tensors of pixel values to generate outcomes in tasks such as image classification and object detection. To elucidate the reasoning of these models, class activation maps (CAMs) are used to highlight salient regions that influence a model's output. This research introduces KPCA-CAM, a technique designed to enhance the interpretability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) through improved class activation maps. KPCA-CAM leverages Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with the kernel trick to capture nonlinear relationships within CNN activations more effectively. By mapping data into higher-dimensional spaces with kernel functions and extracting principal components from this transformed hyperplane, KPCA-CAM provides more accurate representations of the underlying data manifold. This enables a deeper understanding of the features influencing CNN decisions. Empirical evaluations on the ILSVRC dataset across different CNN models demonstrate that KPCA-CAM produces more precise activation maps, providing clearer insights into the model's reasoning compared to existing CAM algorithms. This research advances CAM techniques, equipping researchers and practitioners with a powerful tool to gain deeper insights into CNN decision-making processes and overall behaviors.
