Hide and Seek (HnS) is a concept‑level attribution method that interprets black‑box vision models without needing model weights or labeled concept datasets. It retrieves concept‑aligned images via a vision‑language model, localizes and masks the concept region, and measures attribution by observing changes in the model’s output. HnS was validated on CelebA and COCO‑Stuff, showing stronger agreement with ground‑truth attributions than existing methods, and was applied to tasks like image captioning and satellite image segmentation where other concept attribution methods fail.

MorphoSHAP is a model‑agnostic post‑hoc explanation method that uses morphological shapes—derived from the Tree of Shapes—as the units of attribution in a Shapley game. Each shape is characterized by its scale, geometry, and signed contribution, enabling explanations that reveal where evidence lies, what structural type carries it, and how strongly it influences the prediction. The approach offers spatial, textual, and global class‑level explanations, surpasses existing attribution methods on multiple benchmarks, and is preferred by users in a study.

The paper introduces CFM, a language‑aligned concept foundation model for vision that generates fine‑grained, human‑interpretable concepts with spatial grounding. By pairing CFM with a strong semantic foundation model, it provides explanations for downstream tasks such as classification, segmentation, and captioning. The authors also analyze local co‑occurrence of concepts to define relationships, improving concept naming and yielding richer explanations while maintaining competitive performance.
