Neuron Activation-based Computation of Logical Explanations for Deep Neural Networks

The paper introduces a flexible symbolic framework that efficiently computes logical explanations for deep neural networks by parameterizing explanations with internal neuron activations and leveraging general-purpose logical engines like SMT solvers. Unlike previous methods that rely on specialized verifiers or are limited to individual input features, this approach is not restricted in shape and can scale to deep architectures. Experiments on image recognition and medical benchmarks demonstrate improved computational efficiency and the ability to explain networks that were previously intractable for logic-based methods.
