The proposed paper introduces a novel approach to building explainable classifiers that can provide insights into the decision-making process of deep neural networks. By designing an interpretable classifier in parallel with the black box classifier, the authors aim to create a system that not only produces accurate results but also provides transparency and understanding for users. The study focuses on applying Zadeh’s fuzzy logic function and DeconvNet importance to develop a post-hoc explainable classifier that matches classification decisions with a black box classifier on the MNIST and FashionMNIST databases. The authors demonstrate that DeconvNet is the optimal transformation of feature values to their truth values as inputs to the fuzzy logic function, achieving higher performance compared to other tested significance measures.

The paper tries to make deep neural networks more understandable by creating a new kind of classifier. This “explainable” classifier works alongside a hidden “black box” classifier that’s already good at making predictions. The goal is to create a system where users can trust the results and understand why they’re getting certain answers. To do this, the researchers use special techniques called Zadeh’s fuzzy logic function and DeconvNet importance to make the explainable classifier work well on two popular databases, MNIST and FashionMNIST.
