开发笔记:“卷积可视化”：GradCAM

http://spytensor.com/index.php/archives/20/

背景

无意间发现了一篇论文《Grad-CAM:Visual Explanations from Deep Networks via Gradient-based Localization》，文中介绍了一种卷积神经网络的解释方法，通过构建类似热力图 (heatmap) 的形式，直观展示出卷积神经网络学习到的特征，简单说就是：到底我的模型关注点在哪？凭啥认为这张图中有猫？当然，其本质还是从像素角度去解释，并不能像人类那样直观的解释某一个动物为什么是猫。

1. CAM展开目录

在很长一段时间内，CNN 虽然效果显著但却饱受争议，根源在于其可解释性较差，同时也因此衍生出一个新的领域：深度学习的可解释性研究。比较经典的研究方法是采用反卷积（Deconvolution）和导向反向传播（Guided-backpropagation），相关的论文也比较多就不在一一列举了，这里给出一个相对比较好的：《Striving for Simplicity: The All Convolutional Net》。

在介绍 CAM 之前最好对 GAP 有一定的了解，因为 CAM 的作者就是借鉴了这个方法来处理。下图是 CAM 的一些直观描述：

特征图经过 GAP 处理后每一个特征图包含了不同类别的信息，其具体效果如上图的 Class Activation Mapping 中的图片所示（只看图片，忽略公式），其中的权重 w 对应分类时的权重。这样做的缺陷是因为要替换全连接层为 GAP 层，因此模型要重新训练，这样的处理方式对于一些复杂的模型是行不通的，Grad-CAM 很好的解决了这个问题，具体继续往下看。

现在的问题是，即使模型训练好了，我们怎么绘制出热点图？这个比较简单，我们只需要提取出所有的权重，往回找到对应的特征图，然后进行加权求和即可。另外如果有兴趣进一步了解 CAM 的话，可以参考一下 Jacob Gildenblat 的复现： keras-cam, 提醒一下，这个代码本人没有进行测试，所以不能保证顺利运行。

总结起来，CAM 的意义就是以热力图的形式告诉我们，模型通过哪些像素点得知图片属于某个类别。

2. Grad-CAM展开目录

其实 CAM 得到的效果已经很不错了，但是由于其需要修改网络结构并对模型进行重新训练，这样就导致其应用起来很不方便。Grad-CAM 和 CAM 基本思路一样，区别就在于如何获取每个特征图的权重，采用了梯度的全局平均来计算权重，论文中也给出了证明两种方式得到的权重是否等价的详细过程，如果有需要可以阅读论文进行推导。这里为了与 CAM 的权重进行区分，定义 Grad-CAM 中第 k 个特征图对应类别 c 的权重为 &＃x03B1;kc">αkc，可以通过下面的公式计算得到：

参数解析：

• Z: 特征图的像素个数;


• yc">yc: 第 c 类得分的梯度 (the gradient of the score for class c)；


• Aijk">Aijk: 第 k 个特征图中，(i,j)">(i,j) 位置处的像素值；

然后再求得所有的特征图对应的类别的权重后进行加权求和，这样便可以得到最后的热力图，求和公式如下：

下图是论文中给出的 Grad-CAM 整体结构图：

提醒：
论文中对最终的加权结果进行了一次 ReLU 激活处理，目的是只考虑对类别 c 有正影响的像素点。
