Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Neuron Coverage (NC) was proposed as a measure to quantify the usefulness of evaluation data against Deep Neural Networks (DNNs): the larger the value of NC, the better the coverage of the evaluation data. Since NC is inappropriate for such a metric in some cases, DeepGauge was proposed to overcome those deficiencies. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments to examine how the two metrics differ when DNN models are tested in terms of label imbalances. We found that (1) the NC is less sensitive and thus is not appropriate as the test metrics, which is in accordance with existing studies, and (2) some DeepGauge indices are appropriately sensitive in certain cases. We also found that those DeepGauge indices do not show any difference for the case of calculating the indices for CNNs, whether the neurons in the convolution and pooling layers are considered or not.
