Reference score155,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Trains prediction through an explicitly supervised concept bottleneck using independent, sequential or joint losses, allowing predicted concepts to be corrected before the final output.

Scientific scope

Trains prediction through an explicitly supervised concept bottleneck using independent, sequential or joint losses, allowing predicted concepts to be corrected before the final output. General computing architecture only; medical application is excluded. Requires training-time concept annotations, and modifying a predicted concept inside a model is not intervening on the real-world causal variable. Earlier attribute-based systems are acknowledged, not claimed newly invented. First three authors explicitly equal.
