MoCKEFA: Model-Conditioned Keyframe Extraction and Fair Attribution for Video Model Explanation

We show that a video can be represented with just a few keyframes without sacrificing a given model's belief about the video.

Key points

  • Our method is the first of its kind that extracts these keyframes conditioned on the model's prediction, which is massively helpful for building explainable video models.
  • We then fairly distribute the importance of the video to the model among the keyframes with game theoretically fair Shapley values.
  • Through qualitative and quantitative experiments, we show that keyframe attribution is superior to the traditional frame attribution.
  • Further, we conduct preliminary exploration on highlighting the important changes among the frames by looking at the differences between adjacent keyframes.
