In this work, we introduce InfoDisent, a hybrid approach to explainability based on the information bottleneck principle. InfoDisent enables the disentanglement of information in the final layer of any pretrained model into atomic concepts, which can be interpreted as prototypical parts. This approach merges the flexibility of post-hoc methods with the concept-level modeling capabilities of self-explainable neural networks, such as ProtoPNets. We demonstrate the effectiveness of InfoDisent through computational experiments and user studies across various datasets using modern backbones such as ViTs and convolutional networks. Notably, InfoDisent generalizes the prototypical parts approach to novel domains (ImageNet).
