Abstract
High-dimensional latent representations learned by neural network classifiers are notoriously hard to interpret. Especially in medical applications, model developers and domain experts desire a better understanding of how these latent representations relate to the resulting classification performance. We present Projective Latent Interventions (PLIs), a technique for retraining classifiers by back-propagating manual changes made to low-dimensional embeddings of the latent space. The back-propagation is based on parametric approximations of t -distributed stochastic neighbourhood embeddings. PLIs allow domain experts to control the latent decision space in an intuitive way in order to better match their expectations. For instance, the performance for specific pairs of classes can be enhanced by manually separating the class clusters in the embedding. We evaluate our technique on a real-world scenario in fetal ultrasound imaging.
