DeepDataProfiler: A Platform and Methodology for the Analysis and Interpretation of Neural Networks

Abstract

The DeepDataProfiler is a methodology and framework for providing interpretability to trained neural networks. Its approach is to decompose a network into a weighted graph of neurons and synapses and link the components of the graph to human identifiable concepts. By identifying concepts important to the network and tracking the decision process employed by the network, the network becomes more transparent and less like a black box. Spurious decisions and poor generalization strategies can be identified and a measure of trustworthiness can be established.
