Methods for Explainable Artificial Intelligence
We explored ways of quantifying information in a neural network. This can be used to determine the right size of a network or to infer the way in which a network is processing information. The first year and a half was somewhat exploratory while the last half of the project focused on approaches that seemed to show the most promise. The introduce a new way of computing explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) saliency maps that is several orders of magnitude faster than methods with similar fidelity We call it FastCAM. The method works be combining a Class Activation Map (CAM) method such as GradCAM with a forward activation map computed with a statistic we call SMOE Scale. The addition of the forward activation maps to CAM methods seems to always improve their fidelity. At the same time, computational overhead is not increased by very much. While Gradients with SmoothGrad scores better on some fidelity measures, it is overall not as good and requires more than 1500 times to compute. We demonstrate two completed applications of FastCAM on tasks outside of the LDRD at LLNL. The source code for FastCAM is currently being implanted into Captum, the official XAI toolkit for the popular deep learning toolkit PyTorch. The LDRD currently has 13 publications released to the public. 10 of them are journal length.
