Abstract

This paper proposes a novel explainable Dimensionality Reduction (XDR) framework to translate high-dimensional tacit knowledge learned by AI into human-understandable explicit knowledge. A case study on recognizing ethnic styles of village dwellings in Guangdong, China, using a Mask R-CNN model, reveals patio, size, length, direction, and asymmetric shape as key distinguishing features for Canton, Hakka, and Teochew styles. Results align with existing field studies and uncover evidence of Hakka migration, demonstrating XDR's potential for expanding domain knowledge.
