The paper proposes a novel approach to understanding neural network models by querying them using declarative languages, inspired by databases. It explores different query languages based on first-order logic, which can be used to view the network as either a black box or a weighted graph. The authors show that these approaches are incomparable in expressive power but demonstrate that the white-box approach can subsume the black-box approach under natural circumstances. Specifically, they prove this for linear constraint queries over real functions definable by feedforward neural networks with fixed hidden layers and piecewise linear activation functions.

The paper is about a new way to understand how artificial intelligence models work. It’s like asking a computer questions about what it learned from some data. The researchers looked at different ways to ask these questions, using special languages that can be used for things like databases or neural networks. They found out that some of these languages are better than others for certain tasks, and they showed how one language can do everything another language can do. This is important because it helps us understand how AI models make decisions.
