Objective
The study aims to investigate the concept of Mutual Information (MI) as a metric for understanding dependencies in deep learning models, and to utilize Partial Information Decomposition (PID) to analyze the contributions of two variables to a target variable.
Method
The study employs a detailed derivation of MI based on orthogonality principles and introduces Conditional PID (CPID) to extend the analysis by incorporating additional conditioning variables. Various datasets, including Gender Bias, Ethnic Bias, Homonym, Synonym, and Co-Hyponym datasets, are utilized, with prompts generated through interactions with several free-access Large Language Models, such as Chat-GPT and Meta.ai.
