SafetyDPO: Scalable Safety Alignment for Text-to-Image Generation

no code implementations13 Dec 2024 Runtao Liu, Chen I Chieh, Jindong Gu, Jipeng Zhang, Renjie Pi, Qifeng Chen, Philip Torr, Ashkan Khakzar, Fabio Pizzati

Using a custom DPO strategy and this dataset, we train safety experts, in the form of low-rank adaptation (LoRA) matrices, able to guide the generation process away from specific safety-related concepts.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Evaluating Abstract Shape Recognition in Vision-Language Models

1 code implementation9 Nov 2024 Arshia Hemmat, Adam Davies, Tom A. Lamb, Jianhao Yuan, Philip Torr, Ashkan Khakzar, Francesco Pinto

Despite the importance of shape perception in human vision, early neural image classifiers relied less on shape information for object recognition than other (often spurious) features.

Sparse Autoencoders Reveal Universal Feature Spaces Across Large Language Models

no code implementations9 Oct 2024 Michael Lan, Philip Torr, Austin Meek, Ashkan Khakzar, David Krueger, Fazl Barez

We investigate feature universality in large language models (LLMs), a research field that aims to understand how different models similarly represent concepts in the latent spaces of their intermediate layers.

The Cognitive Revolution in Interpretability: From Explaining Behavior to Interpreting Representations and Algorithms

no code implementations11 Aug 2024 Adam Davies, Ashkan Khakzar

Artificial neural networks have long been understood as "black boxes": though we know their computation graphs and learned parameters, the knowledge encoded by these weights and functions they perform are not inherently interpretable.

Learning Visual Prompts for Guiding the Attention of Vision Transformers

no code implementations5 Jun 2024 Razieh Rezaei, Masoud Jalili Sabet, Jindong Gu, Daniel Rueckert, Philip Torr, Ashkan Khakzar

The learned visual prompt, added to any input image would redirect the attention of the pre-trained vision transformer to its spatial location on the image.

A Dual-Perspective Approach to Evaluating Feature Attribution Methods

1 code implementation17 Aug 2023 Yawei Li, Yang Zhang, Kenji Kawaguchi, Ashkan Khakzar, Bernd Bischl, Mina Rezaei

We apply these metrics to mainstream attribution methods, offering a novel lens through which to analyze and compare feature attribution methods.

Analyzing the Effects of Handling Data Imbalance on Learned Features from Medical Images by Looking Into the Models

no code implementations4 Apr 2022 Ashkan Khakzar, Yawei Li, Yang Zhang, Mirac Sanisoglu, Seong Tae Kim, Mina Rezaei, Bernd Bischl, Nassir Navab

One challenging property lurking in medical datasets is the imbalanced data distribution, where the frequency of the samples between the different classes is not balanced.

FlexR: Few-shot Classification with Language Embeddings for Structured Reporting of Chest X-rays

no code implementations29 Mar 2022 Matthias Keicher, Kamilia Zaripova, Tobias Czempiel, Kristina Mach, Ashkan Khakzar, Nassir Navab

The automation of chest X-ray reporting has garnered significant interest due to the time-consuming nature of the task.

Towards Semantic Interpretation of Thoracic Disease and COVID-19 Diagnosis Models

1 code implementation4 Apr 2021 Ashkan Khakzar, Sabrina Musatian, Jonas Buchberger, Icxel Valeriano Quiroz, Nikolaus Pinger, Soroosh Baselizadeh, Seong Tae Kim, Nassir Navab

We present our findings using publicly available chest pathologies (CheXpert, NIH ChestX-ray8) and COVID-19 datasets (BrixIA, and COVID-19 chest X-ray segmentation dataset).

Longitudinal Quantitative Assessment of COVID-19 Infection Progression from Chest CTs

1 code implementation12 Mar 2021 Seong Tae Kim, Leili Goli, Magdalini Paschali, Ashkan Khakzar, Matthias Keicher, Tobias Czempiel, Egon Burian, Rickmer Braren, Nassir Navab, Thomas Wendler

Chest computed tomography (CT) has played an essential diagnostic role in assessing patients with COVID-19 by showing disease-specific image features such as ground-glass opacity and consolidation.

Rethinking Positive Aggregation and Propagation of Gradients in Gradient-based Saliency Methods

no code implementations1 Dec 2020 Ashkan Khakzar, Soroosh Baselizadeh, Nassir Navab

In this work, we empirically show that two approaches for handling the gradient information, namely positive aggregation, and positive propagation, break these methods.

Improving Feature Attribution through Input-specific Network Pruning

no code implementations25 Nov 2019 Ashkan Khakzar, Soroosh Baselizadeh, Saurabh Khanduja, Christian Rupprecht, Seong Tae Kim, Nassir Navab

Attributing the output of a neural network to the contribution of given input elements is a way of shedding light on the black-box nature of neural networks.

Network Pruning

Learning Interpretable Features via Adversarially Robust Optimization

no code implementations9 May 2019 Ashkan Khakzar, Shadi Albarqouni, Nassir Navab

In this work, we propose a method for improving the feature interpretability of neural network classifiers.
