Abstract(in English) To understand the inner structures of convolutional neural networks, several techniques of visualization have been developed. However, few techniques have been developed to extract features from convolutional neural networks. This paper presents a method of extracting features from convolutional neural networks by extracting rules from fully connected layers. The rule extraction method developed by one of the authors was adopted. The inputs of the rules are the outputs of convolutional layers. To understand the rules, the images maximizing the outputs of convolutional layers are needed, which are calculated by Smoothgrad. The method was applied to MNIST data.
