Quantifying the Accuracy-Interpretability Trade-Off in Concept-Based Sidechannel Models

Outline

To compensate for the decreased prediction accuracy of the Concept Bottleneck Model (CBNM), the Concept Side Channel Model (CSM) was proposed, but it encountered a problem of reduced interpretability. In this paper, we present a method to control the interpretability of the CSM. We propose an integrated probabilistic concept side channel meta-model and introduce the Sidechannel Independence Score (SIS) to quantify side channel dependence. We control side channel dependence through SIS regularization, and analyze the effect of the expressiveness of predictors and the dependence of side channels on interpretability. Experimental results show that SIS regularization can improve the interpretability and intervenability of the CSM, and the quality of learned interpretable task predictors.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
A methodology is presented to balance the interpretability and accuracy of CSM.
Development of a side channel dependency measurement metric called SIS.
Improving the interpretability of CSM through SIS normalization.
Analysis of the interaction between expressiveness and side-channel dependence in the CSM architecture.
Limitations:
Further research is needed to determine the generalizability of the methodology presented in this paper and its applicability to other CSM architectures.
Further analysis is needed to determine the optimal hyperparameter settings for SIS regularization.
Further research is needed to determine how improved interpretability impacts real-world applications.
