Interpreting black-box ML with the help of physics — •Miriam Klopotek — University of Stuttgart, SimTech Cluster of Excellence EXC 2075, Stuttgart, Germany

Complexity is an unavoidable part of systems with emergent or even so-called intelligent capabilities. Ultimately, it stems from the many microscopic constituents with multiple possible states, which introduces a vast space of degrees of freedom. This is true both for many-body systems as well as modern machine learning (ML) systems. Today, the latter suffer notoriously from the ‘black-box problem’, i.e. they are inherently opaque. We argue that an engagement with physics can offer deep insights ultimately for a theory of operation and thus an interpretation, as well as powerful ways to assess their reliability and shortcomings. We show some results for a case study with beta-variational autoencoders (β-VAEs) [1], which we trained on data from a well-characterized model system of hard rods confined to 2D lattices [2].
