Research project

Interpretable Image Classification

A final-year research project on classifying images whose classes overlap, in a way people can inspect and understand.

The brief

The challenge

Image classifiers often struggle where classes genuinely overlap, and rarely explain why they chose one label over another. Both problems limit how far people can trust them.

What we did

The solution

The project studied interpretable image classification with overlapping classes, using optimised detection of the overlapping regions so that the model's decisions in the ambiguous areas can be examined, not just accepted. It was presented as a Level 04 research project at the Faculty of Information Technology.
