Interpretable Visualizations with Differentiating Embedding Networks

We present a visualization algorithm based on a novel unsupervised Siamese neural network training regime and loss function, called Differentiating Embedding Networks (DEN). The Siamese neural network finds differentiating or similar features between specific pairs of samples in a dataset, and uses these features to embed the dataset in a lower dimensional space where it can be visualized. Unlike existing visualization algorithms such as UMAP or $t$-SNE, DEN is parametric, meaning it can be interpreted by techniques such as SHAP. To interpret DEN, we create an end-to-end parametric clustering algorithm on top of the visualization, and then leverage SHAP scores to determine which features in the sample space are important for understanding the structures shown in the visualization based on the clusters found. We compare DEN visualizations with existing techniques on a variety of datasets, including image and scRNA-seq data. We then show that our clustering algorithm performs similarly to the state of the art despite not having prior knowledge of the number of clusters, and sets a new state of the art on FashionMNIST. Finally, we demonstrate finding differentiating features of a dataset. Code available at https://github.com/isaacrob/DEN
