We design, implement, and evaluate DeepEverest, a system for the efficient execution of
interpretation by example
queries over the activation values of a deep neural network. DeepEverest consists of an efficient indexing technique and a query execution algorithm with various optimizations. We prove that the proposed query execution algorithm is instance optimal. Experiments with our prototype show that DeepEverest, using less than 20% of the storage of full materialization, significantly accelerates individual queries by up to 63X and consistently outperforms other methods on multi-query workloads that simulate DNN interpretation processes.
