Scientific Discovery by Generating Counterfactuals using Image Translation

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Arunachalam Narayanaswamy, Subhashini Venugopalan, Dale R. Webster, Lily Peng, Greg Corrado | Summary: Model explanation techniques play a critical role in understanding the source of a model’s performance and making its decisions transparent. Here we investigate if explanation techniques can also be used as a mechanism for […]
