Abstract

Deep learning models trained using massive amounts of data, tend to capture one view of the data and its associated mapping. Different deep learning models built on the same training data may capture different views of the data based on the underlying techniques used. For explaining the decisions arrived by Black box deep learning models, we argue that it is essential to reproduce that model’s view of the training data faithfully. This faithful reproduction can then be used for explanation generation. We investigate two methods for data-view extraction: Hill Climbing approach and a GAN-driven approach. We then use this synthesized data for explanation generation by using methods such as Decision-Trees and Permutation Importance. We evaluate these approaches on a Black box model trained on public datasets and show its usefulness in explanation generation.
