We propose a systematic pipeline for interpreting individual hidden state dynamics within the network using response characterization methods. The ranked contribution of individual cells to the network's output is computed by analyzing a set of interpretable metrics of their decoupled step and sinusoidal responses. As a result, our method is able to uniquely identify neurons with insightful dynamics, quantify relationships between dynamical properties and test accuracy through ablation analysis, and interpret the impact of network capacity on a network's dynamical distribution. Finally, we demonstrate the generalizability and scalability of our method by evaluating a series of different benchmark sequential datasets."}],"date_created":"2019-11-04T15:59:58Z","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781728119854"]},"month":"09","publisher":"IEEE","author":[{"full_name":"Hasani, Ramin","last_name":"Hasani","first_name":"Ramin"},{"first_name":"Alexander","full_name":"Amini, Alexander","last_name":"Amini"},{"full_name":"Lechner, Mathias","last_name":"Lechner","first_name":"Mathias","id":"3DC22916-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Naser","full_name":"Naser, Felix","first_name":"Felix"},{"full_name":"Grosu, Radu","last_name":"Grosu","first_name":"Radu"},{"last_name":"Rus","full_name":"Rus, Daniela","first_name":"Daniela"}],"quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","day":"30","external_id":{"arxiv":["1809.03864"]},"department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"article_number":"8851954","title":"Response characterization for auditing cell dynamics in long short-term memory networks","conference":{"location":"Budapest, Hungary","end_date":"2019-07-19","name":"IJCNN: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks","start_date":"2019-07-14"},"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1109/ijcnn.2019.8851954"}
