CRITS: Convolutional Rectifier for Interpretable Time Series Classification

  • 用卷积核+最大池化+ReLU网络构建可解释模型
  • 直接输出特征权重,准确率与解释对齐度高
  • 适合需要透明决策过程的医疗、金融领域

针对基于卷积网络的时间序列分类器,现有可解释方法多依赖梯度或随机扰动生成局部显著图,但常因上采样问题或计算开销导致输入空间解释不清晰。本文提出一种新型可解释模型CRITS(Convolutional Rectifier for Interpretable Time Series Classification),通过卷积层、最大池化层和全连接ReLU网络结构,利用ReLU激活函数直接提取样本特征权重,无需计算梯度、随机扰动或上采样操作。在多个数据集上的实验表明,CRITS在保持良好分类性能的同时,具备更高的解释对齐性、敏感性和可理解性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Several interpretability methods for convolutional network-based classifiers exist. Most of these methods focus on extracting saliency maps for a given sample, providing a local explanation that highlights the main regions for the classification. However, some of these methods lack detailed explanations in the input space due to upscaling issues or may require random perturbations to extract the explanations. We propose Convolutional Rectifier for Interpretable Time Series Classification, or CRITS, as an interpretable model for time series classification that is designed to intrinsically extract local explanations. The proposed method uses a layer of convolutional kernels, a max-pooling layer and a fully-connected rectifier network (a network with only rectified linear unit activations). The rectified linear unit activation allows the extraction of the feature weights for the given sample, eliminating the need to calculate gradients, use random perturbations and the upscale of the saliency maps to the initial input space. We evaluate CRITS on a set of datasets, and study its classification performance and its explanation alignment, sensitivity and understandability.
