Generating Part-based Global Explnations via Correspondence

Published in IJCAI 2024 Workshop on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), 2024

Deep learning models are notoriously opaque. Existing explanation methods often focus on localized visual explanations for individual images. Concept-based explanations, while offering global insights, require extensive annotations, incurring significant labeling cost. We propose an approach that leverages user-defined part labels from a limited set of images and efficiently transfers them to a larger dataset. This enables the generation of global symbolic explanations by aggregating part-based local explanations, ultimately providing human-understandable explanations for model decisions on a large scale.

RA2Vec: Distributed representation of protein sequences with reduced alphabet embeddings

Published in Proceedings of the 11th ACM international conference on bioinformatics, computational biology and health informatics., 2020

This study introduces RA2Vec, a new method for protein function identification using reduced amino acid alphabets. It maps Swiss-Prot sequences to a reduced form based on hydropathy and conformational similarity. The method uses a skip-gram approach to create embedding vectors for each set. These vectors are then used as input to Support Vector Machines classifiers. The vectors are further refined using recursive Feature Elimination to maximize accuracy. The results show that certain combinations of these new representations can significantly improve performance.

A Simple Method of Solution For Multi-label Feature Selection

Published in IEEE International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Communication Technologies, 2019

The study proposes a two-step algorithm for multi-label classification (MLC). It first decomposes the output label space into lower dimensions, then applies feature selection in the reduced space. This approach efficiently handles high-dimensional datasets and reduces computational load.
