Machine learning

The goal of our group is the development of new statistical learning techniques mainly for computer vision, with a particular interest in their computational properties.

Our application domains include object detection and scene analysis, tracking of people and biological structures, and image recognition in general.

Gradient-based Methods for Deep Model Interpretability

research — last modified Nov 18, 2021

In his research work, Idiap student, Suraj Srinivas proposes gradient-based methods for characterizing model behavior for the purposes of knowledge transfer and post-hoc model interpretation. Broadly, gradients capture the variation of some output feature of the model upon unit variation of an input feature, and thus encodes the local model behavior while being agnostic to the underlying model architectural choices.
