Neural Image Compression Explaination

This reposityory contains the PyTorch implementation of "Neural Image Compression and Explanation".

Expalanation Examples

Learned sparse explanations from LeNet-5 on MNIST examples:

Requirements

PyTorch >= 0.4.0

Quick Start

Follow the below 3 steps to run our algorithm:

1. Train a target model to explain

python train_target_model.py 

2. Train NICE

python main.py --r [1] 

-r: The hyperparameter to balance data loss and sparsity loss. Please read our paper for details.

3. Visualize results

python visualize_explanation.py
