Towards Better Explanations for Object Detection

Abstract

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology have promoted their use in almost every field. The growing complexity of deep neural networks (DNNs) makes it increasingly difficult and important to explain the inner workings and decisions of the network. However, most current techniques for explaining DNNs focus mainly on interpreting classification tasks. This paper proposes a method to explain the decision for any object detection model called D-CLOSE. To closely track the model’s behavior, we used multiple levels of segmentation on the image and a process to combine them. We performed tests on the MS-COCO dataset with the YOLOX model, which shows that our method outperforms D-RISE and can give a better quality and less noise explanation.
