A Methodology for Transparent Logic-Based Classification Using a Multi-Task Convolutional Tsetlin Machine

  • 基于卷积结构的时序机,用逻辑规则学习图像特征。
  • 在MNIST上达98.5%准确率,在CelebA上F1达86.56%。
  • 生成局部解释与全局类表征,适合需要可解释性的场景。

Tsetlin Machine(TM)是一种基于有限状态自动机的新型机器学习范式,利用命题逻辑表示模式,具有天然可解释性。卷积型TM已在MNIST、K-MNIST、F-MNIST和CIFAR-2等数据集上表现出与深度神经网络相当的性能。本文探索其在大规模多通道(RGB)图像分类中的适用性,提出一种生成局部解释与全局类表征的方法。局部解释用于说明模型预测依据,全局表征则聚合每类的关键模式,这些知识可通过图像形式可视化。在MNIST和CelebA数据集上的实验表明,所提模型在MNIST上达到98.5%准确率,在CelebA上取得86.56% F1-score(优于ResNet50的88.07%),在复杂环境下仍保持良好性能与可解释性,有助于深入理解TM规则,并拓展其在多样化数据集上的应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a novel machine learning paradigm that employs finite-state automata for learning and utilizes propositional logic to represent patterns. Due to its simplistic approach, TMs are inherently more interpretable than learning algorithms based on Neural Networks. The Convolutional TM has shown comparable performance on various datasets such as MNIST, K-MNIST, F-MNIST and CIFAR-2. In this paper, we explore the applicability of the TM architecture for large-scale multi-channel (RGB) image classification. We propose a methodology to generate both local interpretations and global class representations. The local interpretations can be used to explain the model predictions while the global class representations aggregate important patterns for each class. These interpretations summarize the knowledge captured by the convolutional clauses, which can be visualized as images. We evaluate our methods on MNIST and CelebA datasets, using models that achieve 98.5\% accuracy on MNIST and 86.56\% F1-score on CelebA (compared to 88.07\% for ResNet50) respectively. We show that the TM performs competitively to this deep learning model while maintaining its interpretability, even in large-scale complex training environments. This contributes to a better understanding of TM clauses and provides insights into how these models can be applied to more complex and diverse datasets.
