Metal

Provided are two exemplary samples of metal music along with the extracted explanations. The standard heatmap specifies the local explanation as obtained with standard LRP. The subspace heatmaps represent the disentangled explanation-components as extracted with DRSA and LRP. In order to enable good visual inspection, the audio players for each explanation are provided in collapsible sections below the figure.

Fig. 1: Displayed from left to right: the original sample, the standard explanation (as obtained with standard LRP), and 4 explanation components as disentangled with DRSA. The total relevance represented by an explanation is stated above each heatmap. Each row of figures represents one specific sample and its associated explanations.

Extracted Concepts

The model learned these distinct concepts when classifying this genre:

1

Electric Guitar Noise
