In these and related areas, understanding the internal mechanisms governing the decision-making process of AI-based systems can increase trust and consequently user acceptance. While various methods have been developed to provide insights into the behavior of AI-based models, solutions capable of explaining different aspects of the models using Natural Language are still limited in the literature. In this paper, we therefore propose a novel approach for interpreting the information content encoded in face templates, produced by state-of-the-art (SOTA) face recognition models. Specifically, we utilize the Text Encoder from the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) model and generate natural language descriptions of various face attributes present in the face templates. We implement two versions of our approach, with the off-the-shelf CLIP text-encoder and a fine-tuned version using the VGGFace2 and MAADFace datasets.~Our experimental results indicate that the fine-tuned text encoder under the contrastive training paradigm increases the attribute-based explainability of face recognition templates, while both models provide valuable human-understandable insights into modern face recognition models. |
