In this riveting lecture, the Alex Smola team delves into the intricate world of heuristic feature analysis and the challenges it presents in the realm of deep learning. They tackle the issue of sensitivity analysis and the limitations of traditional backpropagation methods, especially when faced with functions like ReLU that muddy the waters of influence computation. The team introduces a clever workaround involving gradient times input, providing a more nuanced understanding of how slight perturbations in input can affect overall output—a true lightbulb moment in the world of deep learning.
Enter the hero of the story: deep lift. This method switches gears to finite differences, offering a more intuitive representation of influence within deep networks. By deftly splitting positive and negative branches, deep lift navigates the treacherous waters of maximum and minimum values, shedding light on the often murky world of deep learning computations. The team's explanation of how backpropagation can be leveraged to compute scores effectively adds a layer of finesse to an already complex process, proving that mastery in this field is not for the faint of heart.
As the discussion unfolds, the team touches upon the fascinating realms of guided backprop and kernel SHAP, hinting at the exciting applications awaiting in the domains of text and image analysis. The quest for causality in deep learning models looms large, with the team highlighting the uphill battle faced due to framework limitations. With a nod to various papers and approaches like integrated gradients, SHAP values, LIME, and more, the team sets the stage for further exploration into the depths of explainability in the ever-evolving landscape of deep learning. The lecture culminates in a call to arms for efficient heuristics, emphasizing their pivotal role in navigating the complexities of modern deep learning processes.
