This paper presents a method to learn a decision tree to quantitatively explain the logic of each prediction of a pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our method boosts the following two aspects of network interpretability. 1) In the CNN, each filter in a high conv-layer must represent a specific object part, instead of describing mixed patterns without clear meanings. 2) People can explain each specific prediction made by the CNN at the semantic level using a decision tree, i.e., which filters (or object parts) are used for prediction and how much they contribute in the prediction. To conduct such a quantitative explanation of a CNN, our method learns explicit representations of object parts in high conv-layers of the CNN and mines potential decision modes memorized in fully-connected layers. The decision tree organizes these potential decision modes in a coarse-to-fine manner. Experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
