“…Therefore, EPU-CNN is appropriate for a wide range of application contexts, since perceptual features, such as color and texture, are essential for the discrimination of image content by humans 34 . For example, in biomedicine, abnormalities can be mainly discriminated using color features in endoscopy, texture features in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 35 , and both color and texture features in dermoscopy for assessment of malignancies 36 . In agriculture and food quality assessment, color and texture play a decisive role for the selection of healthy plants, and for the identification of best quality fruits and meat 37 , 38 .…”

The adoption of convolutional neural network (CNN) models in high-stake domains is hindered by their inability to meet society’s demand for transparency in decision-making. So far, a growing number of methodologies have emerged for developing CNN models that are interpretable by design. However, such models are not capable of providing interpretations in accordance with human perception, while maintaining competent performance. In this paper, we tackle these challenges with a novel, general framework for instantiating inherently interpretable CNN models, named E pluribus unum interpretable CNN (EPU-CNN). An EPU-CNN model consists of CNN sub-networks, each of which receives a different representation of an input image expressing a perceptual feature, such as color or texture. The output of an EPU-CNN model consists of the classification prediction and its interpretation, in terms of relative contributions of perceptual features in different regions of the input image. EPU-CNN models have been extensively evaluated on various publicly available datasets, as well as a contributed benchmark dataset. Medical datasets are used to demonstrate the applicability of EPU-CNN for risk-sensitive decisions in medicine. The experimental results indicate that EPU-CNN models can achieve a comparable or better classification performance than other CNN architectures while providing humanly perceivable interpretations.
