| 2026 | PINet: Improving the Stability of Prototype Networks via Phantasia-Inspired Uncertain RepresentationsabstractSelf-interpretable models are increasingly valued for their inherent explainability. Among them, part-prototype networks stand out by mimicking human reasoning through the use of learned prototypes. However, their explanations often lack stability, becoming sensitive to subtle input perturbations. In this work, we propose Prototype in Imagery Network (PINet), a framework that improves the stability of prototype-based explanations. Rather than training on all possible input variations, which is computationally infeasible, PINet draws inspiration from visual mental imagery. Specifically, we incorporate empty inputs and apply coarse location guidance to simulate the human ability to imagine rough object features (a process akin to Phantasia). PINet mimics this process by incorporating empty inputs and applying coarse location guidance. These imagined, or uncertain, representations are contrasted with those derived from actual inputs (certain representations). We model the differences between the two by computing similarity at both the feature and prototype levels, allowing uncertainty to be explicitly encoded during prototype learning. Comprehensive evaluations on CUB-200-2011 and Stanford Cars demonstrate that PINet consistently achieves robust accuracy and localization, even under noisy conditions. These results represent the ability of PINet to produce stable and interpretable explanations under uncertainty. Ho Kyung Shin, Soeun Bae, Sang Min Kim, ByoungChul Ko, Woo-Jeoung Nam |
