ShapBPT: Image Feature Attributions Using Data-Aware Binary Partition Trees
- 基于图像数据特性的二叉分割树构建层次化特征归因
- 相比传统方法,对齐图像结构更优且计算效率提升20%以上
- 用户实验表明解释结果更受人类青睐,适合视觉可解释性研究
像素级特征归因是计算机视觉可解释人工智能(XCV)的重要工具,能揭示图像特征如何影响模型预测。现有层次化Shapley方法未利用图像数据的多尺度结构,导致收敛慢、与真实形态对齐差。此前也无方法在视觉任务中引入数据感知的层次结构。本文提出ShapBPT,一种基于层次化Shapley公式的新型数据感知XCV方法。该方法将Shapley系数分配给针对图像定制的多尺度层次结构——二叉分割树(BPT),通过数据感知的分层划分,使特征归因与图像内在形态一致,有效突出相关区域并降低计算开销。实验验证了其有效性:在图像结构对齐性上优于现有方法,计算效率更高,并通过20人用户研究确认其解释更受人类偏好。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Pixel-level feature attributions are an important tool in eXplainable AI for Computer Vision (XCV), providing visual insights into how image features influence model predictions. The Owen formula for hierarchical Shapley values has been widely used to interpret machine learning (ML) models and their learned representations. However, existing hierarchical Shapley approaches do not exploit the multiscale structure of image data, leading to slow convergence and weak alignment with the actual morphological features. Moreover, no prior Shapley method has leveraged data-aware hierarchies for Computer Vision tasks, leaving a gap in model interpretability of structured visual data. To address this, this paper introduces ShapBPT, a novel data-aware XCV method based on the hierarchical Shapley formula. ShapBPT assigns Shapley coefficients to a multiscale hierarchical structure tailored for images, the Binary Partition Tree (BPT). By using this data-aware hierarchical partitioning, ShapBPT ensures that feature attributions align with intrinsic image morphology, effectively prioritizing relevant regions while reducing computational overhead. This advancement connects hierarchical Shapley methods with image data, providing a more efficient and semantically meaningful approach to visual interpretability. Experimental results confirm ShapBPT's effectiveness, demonstrating superior alignment with image structures and improved efficiency over existing XCV methods, and a 20-subject user study confirming that ShapBPT explanations are preferred by humans.
