[Paper] | [Code]

• Our work primarily addresses the challenges of completeness, purity and precision in previous methods.
• We utilize the multimodal model CLIP to extract and discover concepts, and design interpretable classification model to enhance the interpretability and few-shot generalization ability of the algorithm.
• We propose the Incremental Residual Concept Bottleneck Models (Res-CBM) to address the challenge of concept completeness and the Concept Utilization Efficiency (CUE) metric to measure the descriptive efficiency of CBMs.

Understanding Multimodal Deep Neural Networks: A Concept Selection View

Chenming Shang, Hengyuan Zhang, Hao Wen, Yujiu Yang

[Paper] | [Code]

• We observe the long-tail distribution of concepts, based on which we propose a two-stage Concept Selection Model (CSM) to mine core concepts without introducing any human priors.
• The concept greedy rough selection algorithm is applied to extract head concepts, and then the concept mask fine selection method performs the extraction of core concepts.

Compositional Generalization through Brain-inspired Geometric Constraints on Representation Structure

Chenming Shang, Shiji Zhou, Hengyuan Zhang, Xinchen Zhang, Lei Ke, Yuwang Wang, Yujiu Yang

• We establish a quantitative relationship between Parallelism Score (PS) in cognitive neuroscience and the compositional generalization (CG) ability of model representations.
• To optimize the CG performance theoretically, we propose the incorporation of two regularization techniques, Parallelism Score Maximization and Distance Variance Minimization, to enhance the model CG ability.

[Paper] | [Code]

• Based on the singular value decomposition, we define the language subspace.
• We then transfer the non‑dominant language space to the dominant language space through shift projection and leverage contrastive learning to further alignment.
• The non‑dominant language can access richer information from the parameters of LLMs and improve comprehension capability.
