AnyBottle: A Recipe to Only Keep the Concepts You Really Need
Excerpt
arXiv:2610.08552v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Concept bottleneck models (CBMs) make predictions inspectable and intervenable by routing them through human-interpretable concepts, but originally required concept annotations. Annotation-free variants remove this requirement, but typically use large concept vocabularies, static at both training and inference, producing bottlenecks larger than any task or prediction needs and harder to inspect. We propose AnyBottle, a single recipe for building
