We then provide details for the end-to-end training procedure with additional Concept Fidelity regularization which ensures concept consistency among similar samples. 3.1 Representative Concept Extraction 3.2 Self-supervised Contrastive Concept Learning Even though the RCE framework generates representative concepts, the concepts extracted are adulterated with domain noise thus limiting their generalization. In addition, with limited training data, the concept extraction process is not robust. Self-supervised learning contrastive training objectives are the most commonly used paradigm [Thota and Leontidis, 2021] for learning robust visual features in images. We incorporate self-supervised contrastive learning to learn domain invariant concepts, termed CCL. 3.3 Prototype-based Concept Grounding Concept Fidelity Regularization. Concept fidelity attempts to enforce the similarity of concepts through a similarity measure s(·, ·) of data instances from the same class in the same domain. Formally, Concept Fidelity Regularization. 3.4 End-to-end Composite Training Overall, the training objective can be formalized as a weighted sum of CCL and PCG objectives: where λ1 and λ2 are tunable hyperparameters controlling the strength of contrastive learning and prototype grounding regularization. The end-to-end training objective can be represented as: The tunable hyperparameter β controls the effect of generalization and robustness on the RCE framework. Note that a higher value of β makes the concept learning procedure brittle and unable to adapt to target domains. However, a very low value of β makes the concept learning procedure overfit on the source domain, implying a tradeoff between concept generalization and performance.
