Sample-efficient Learning of Concepts with Theoretical Guarantees: from Data to Concepts without Interventions
Machine learning is a vital part of many real-world systems, but concerns remain about the lack of interpretability, explainability and robustness of black-box AI systems. Concept Bottleneck Models (CBM) address some of these challenges by learning interpretable concepts from high-dimensional data, e.g.
