We combine concept-based neural networks with generative, flow-based classifiers into a novel, intrinsically explainable, exactly invertible approach to supervised learning. Prototypical neural networks, a type of concept-based neural network, represent an exciting way forward in realizing human-comprehensible machine learning without concept annotations, but a human-machine semantic gap continues to haunt current approaches. We find that reliance on indirect interpretation functions for prototypical explanations imposes a severe limit on prototypes' informative power. From this, we posit that invertibly learning prototypes as distributions over the latent space provides more robust, expressive, and interpretable modeling. We propose one such model, called ProtoFlow, by composing a normalizing flow with Gaussian mixture models. ProtoFlow (1) sets a new state-of-the-art in joint generative and predictive modeling and (2) achieves predictive performance comparable to existing prototypical neural networks while enabling richer interpretation.

How do we summarize dynamic behavioral interactions? TEST is flexible enough to lend itself to a variety of standard We introduce a possible node-embedding-based solution to tasks and application domains because it does not depend this question: temporal egonet subgraph transitions.

Context-free graph grammars have shown a remarkable ability to model structures in real-world relational data. However, graph grammars lack the ability to capture time-changing phenomena since the left-to-right transitions of a production rule do not represent temporal change. In the present work, we describe dynamic vertex-replacement grammars (DyVeRG), which generalize vertex replacement grammars in the time domain by providing a formal framework for updating a learned graph grammar in accordance with modifications to its underlying data. We show that DyVeRG grammars can be learned from, and used to generate, real-world dynamic graphs faithfully while remaining human-interpretable. We also demonstrate their ability to forecast by computing dyvergence scores, a novel graph similarity measurement exposed by this framework.
