Abstract(in English) Deep neural network has shown remarkable performance in various areas, including image classification, action recognition, and language processing. Despite its popularity, the decision procedure of network still lacks transparency and interpretability, making it difficult to improve the performance further. Recent research in explainable artificial intelligence has explored the relationship between image pixels and output predictions. However, due to the computation cost and complexity of video data, the explanation for video analysis remains unsolved. In this work, we propose a novel supervoxel-based explanation (SVE) method for action recognition. Our approach has two main advantages: (1) videos are represented by concept-level supervoxels, which is easy for human to understand; (2) a concept importance explanation (CIE) framework can estimate the importance rank of different voxels. The experiment results on two kinds of 3d neural networks demonstrate that SVE can explore the most meaningful concepts in a video while predicting. We also visually show the influence of different concepts which is easy to understand.
