We propose a systematic pipeline for interpreting individual hidden state dynamics within the network using response characterization methods. The ranked contribution of individual cells to the network's output is computed by analyzing a set of interpretable metrics of their decoupled step and sinusoidal responses. As a result, our method is able to uniquely identify neurons with insightful dynamics, quantify relationships between dynamical properties and test accuracy through ablation analysis, and interpret the impact of network capacity on a network's dynamical distribution. Finally, we demonstrate the generalizability and scalability of our method by evaluating a series of different benchmark sequential datasets.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"09","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781728119854"]},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["1809.03864"]},"type":"conference","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","doi":"10.1109/ijcnn.2019.8851954","author":[{"last_name":"Hasani","first_name":"Ramin","full_name":"Hasani, Ramin"},{"first_name":"Alexander","last_name":"Amini","full_name":"Amini, Alexander"},{"id":"3DC22916-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Lechner","first_name":"Mathias","full_name":"Lechner, Mathias"},{"first_name":"Felix","last_name":"Naser","full_name":"Naser, Felix"},{"last_name":"Grosu","first_name":"Radu","full_name":"Grosu, Radu"},{"last_name":"Rus","first_name":"Daniela","full_name":"Rus, Daniela"}],"day":"30","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:11:19Z","publication_status":"published","title":"Response characterization for auditing cell dynamics in long short-term memory networks","date_created":"2019-11-04T15:59:58Z","quality_controlled":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","_id":"6985","conference":{"name":"IJCNN: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks","end_date":"2019-07-19","location":"Budapest, Hungary","start_date":"2019-07-14"},"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.03864"}],"date_published":"2019-09-30T00:00:00Z","publication":"Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks","year":"2019","oa":1}
