Explorations in Texture Learning

14 Mar 2024  ·  Blaine Hoak, Patrick McDaniel ·

In this work, we investigate \textit{texture learning}: the identification of textures learned by object classification models, and the extent to which they rely on these textures. We build texture-object associations that uncover new insights about the relationships between texture and object classes in CNNs and find three classes of results: associations that are strong and expected, strong and not expected, and expected but not present. Our analysis demonstrates that investigations in texture learning enable new methods for interpretability and have the potential to uncover unexpected biases.
