WASUP: Interpretable Classification with Weight-Input Alignment and Class-Discriminative SUPports Vectors

The deployment of deep learning models in critical domains necessitates a balance between high accuracy and interpretability. We introduce WASUP, an inherently interpretable neural network that provides local and global explanations of its decision-making process. We prove that these explanations are faithful by fulfilling established axioms for explanations. Leveraging the concept of case-based reasoning, WASUP extracts class-representative support vectors from training images, ensuring they capture relevant features while suppressing irrelevant ones. Classification decisions are made by calculating and aggregating similarity scores between these support vectors and the input's latent feature vector. We employ B-Cos transformations, which align model weights with inputs to enable faithful mappings of latent features back to the input space, facilitating local explanations in addition to global explanations of case-based reasoning. We evaluate WASUP on three tasks: fine-grained classification on Stanford Dogs, multi-label classification on Pascal VOC, and pathology detection on the RSNA dataset. Results indicate that WASUP not only achieves competitive accuracy compared to state-of-the-art black-box models but also offers insightful explanations verified through theoretical analysis. Our findings underscore WASUP's potential for applications where understanding model decisions is as critical as the decisions themselves.
