Project Background:
Multimodal interpretable learning is rooted in the growing need for AI systems to provide accurate predictions and transparent and understandable explanations for their decisions, particularly in scenarios involving diverse data modalities. Traditional machine learning models, especially in multimodal settings where information from various sources such as text, images, and audio are integrated, often lack interpretability, creating a significant barrier to trust and adoption. It involves exploring novel techniques, such as attention mechanisms, saliency maps, and explainable neural networks, to uncover the underlying factors influencing model predictions. Additionally, the project aims to bridge the model predictions and human understanding by designing visualization methods and interfaces that facilitate interpreting complex multimodal data. By fostering transparency and interpretability in the context of multimodal learning, the project aims to enhance reliability and acceptance, making them more accessible and accountable in real-world applications.
