AI models such as deep neural networks are employed to make highly consequential decisions in our daily lives. However, these complex models, purely trained from massive amounts of data, are often treated as a black-box - lacking interpretations for their internal mechanisms as well as explanation for their output predictions. Bolei's work focuses on opening the black-box;revealing what’s inside the networks trained-for-image-recognition-and-image-synthesis, and the continuing effort to make AI models more transparent.
