OpenAI does a huge investigation into the inner workings of their recent CLIP model via faceted feature visualization and finds amazing things: Some neurons in the last layer respond to distinct concepts across multiple modalities, meaning they fire for photographs, drawings, and signs depicting the same concept, even when the images are vastly distinct. Through manual examination, they identify and investigate neurons corresponding to persons, geographical regions, religions, emotions, and much more. In this video, I go through the publication and then I present my own findings from digging around in the OpenAI Microscope.

My Video on Feature Visualizations & The OpenAI Microscope:

Abstract:
In 2005, a letter published in Nature described human neurons responding to specific people, such as Jennifer Aniston or Halle Berry. The exciting thing wasn’t just that they selected for particular people, but that they did so regardless of whether they were shown photographs, drawings, or even images of the person’s name. The neurons were multimodal. As the lead author would put it: “You are looking at the far end of the transformation from metric, visual shapes to conceptual… information.” We report the existence of similar multimodal neurons in artificial neural networks. This includes neurons selecting for prominent public figures or fictional characters, such as Lady Gaga or Spiderman. Like the biological multimodal neurons, these artificial neurons respond to the same subject in photographs, drawings, and images of their name.
