This Looks Like That: Deep Learning for Interpretable Image Recognition

Neural Information Processing Systems

How would you describe why the image in Figure 1 looks like a clay colored sparrow? Perhaps the bird's head and wing bars look like those of a prototypical clay colored sparrow. When we describe how we classify images, we might focus on parts of the image and compare them with prototypical parts of images from a given class. This method of reasoning is commonly used in difficult identification tasks: e.g., radiologists compare suspected tumors in X-ray scans with prototypical tumor images for diagnosis of cancer [13].
