From Local to Global to Mechanistic: An iERF-Centered Unified Framework for Interpreting Vision Models

Researchers have introduced a new framework for interpreting vision models, unifying local, global, and mechanistic analysis around instance-specific Effective Receptive Fields (iERFs). This approach uses pointwise feature vectors and their iERFs to generate activation-faithful explanations and semantic labels for latent vectors. The framework, which includes methods like Sharing Ratio Decomposition (SRD) and Concept-Anchored Feature Explanation (CAFE), has demonstrated superior fidelity and robustness across various model architectures compared to existing baselines.
