The SaTML '24 CNN Interpretability Competition: New Innovations for Concept-Level Interpretability
Interpretability techniques are valuable for helping humans understand and oversee AI systems. The SaTML 2024 CNN Interpretability Competition solicited novel methods for studying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) at the ImageNet scale. The objective of the competition was to help human crowd-workers identify trojans in CNNs. This report showcases the methods and results of four featured competition entries. It remains challenging to help humans reliably diagnose trojans via interpretability tools. However, the competition's entries have contributed new techniques and set a new record on the benchmark from Casper et al., 2023.
