Check out Neehar Kondapaneni's upcoming ICLR 2025 work which proposes a new approach for understanding how two neural networks differ by discovering the shared and unique concepts learned by the networks.

Representational Similarity via Interpretable Visual Concepts

Neehar Kondapaneni @therealpaneni.bsky.social · Apr 11

Have you ever wondered what makes two models different?
We all know the ViT-Large performs better than the Resnet-50, but what visual concepts drive this difference? Our new ICLR 2025 paper addresses this question! nkondapa.github.io/rsvc-page/
