C-VCE: Concept-based Visual Counterfactual Explanations with Diffusion Models

Introduction

FAQ

What is C-VCE?

C-VCE is a new diffusion framework for visual counterfactual explanations that builds the classifier directly into the generative model via a concept bottleneck layer.

How does C-VCE differ from previous methods?

Unlike previous methods that rely on external classifiers working on noisy images, C-VCE integrates the classifier internally, making it more robust and reliable.

What are potential applications of C-VCE?

It can be used in safety-critical domains like medical imaging and autonomous driving to provide interpretable visual explanations.

Can users control the explanations?

Yes, users can toggle semantic concepts on/off during generation, allowing for customized explanations.
