Researchers at the Paluno Research Institute in the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen developed a method called CluBS that clusters data according to mathematical functions. [^1]

Separately, researchers from MIT and autonomous vehicle company Motional developed a method called the Concept-Wrapper Network (CW-Net) to provide clear explanations of deep learning model decisions in self-driving cars. [^2]

Both methods address how machine learning systems handle and explain data, though the two works are not connected by the available record. CluBS groups data points by the mathematical functions that describe them, while CW-Net focuses on making neural network reasoning interpretable in the context of autonomous driving.
