Title: Is the Deep Model Representation Sparse and Symbolic with Causal Patterns?. Abstract: This paper aims to show that the inference logic of a deep model can be faithfully approximated as a sparse, symbolic causal graph. Such a causal graph potentially bridges the gap between connectionism and symbolism. To this end, the faithfulness of the causal graph is theoretically guaranteed, because we show that the causal graph can well mimic the model's output on an exponential number of different masked samples. Besides, such a causal graph can be further simplified and re-written as an And-Or graph (AOG), which explains the logical relationship between interactive concepts encoded by the deep model, without losing much explanation accuracy. The code will be released when the paper is accepted.
