Title

XAI for representation learning  

Abstract

This talk will discuss motivation for recent explainability research in deep learning, so-called XAI. The talk will briefly outline a taxonomy of present XAI methods. For a large part, XAI try to identify input features that drives supervised class predictions and have received widespread attention. These methods are mostly what we refer to as post-hoc, i.e “after-the-fact” explainability. The talk then touches upon some recent alternatives aimed to be self-explainable, i.e methods with a built-in capability for providing explanations. The main aim of the talk is however to introduce the first XAI work published for explainability in representation learning. Representation learning, e.g. by self-supervision, is crucial in a wide array of recent applications.
