arXiv:2607.12526v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Interpreting a neural network requires understanding what its internal features extract from a particular input. Feature inversion seeks to express a selected feature in the input domain, but canonical iterative methods search for an input whose re-encoded representation matches the target. Because many inputs can satisfy this constraint, target matching alone does not specify the inverse associated with the sample that generated the feature. We formulate source-grounded feature inversion by conditioning the inverse on the source-local network geometry at the target-generating input. At each boundary of the computational DAG, backpropagation provides the correct reverse dependencies but transports an adjoint signal rather than an upstream-state estimate. We locally repair this signal with a closed-form matrix Wiener map from a mean-seed VJP to the upstream state, followed by a second Wiener map for the JVP forward-consistency residual, and compose the repaired states through the same DAG in one finite reverse pass. One calibrated zero-intercept map family supports new inputs, depths, channels, and channel groups across diverse CNN and Transformer architectures, tensor components, and visual distributions without query-specific optimisation. Matched target and source controls verify that each inverse depends on the selected feature and the local operators of the sample being explained, rather than a target-independent image template. Prediction-conditioned feature atlases align these visualisations with independent …
