Decoupling Pixel Flipping and Occlusion Strategy for Consistent XAI Benchmarks

Stefan Blücher, Johanna Vielhaben, Nils Strodthoff

Feature removal is a central building block for eXplainable AI (XAI), both for occlusion-based explanations (Shapley values) as well as their evaluation (pixel flipping, PF). Howev…

Multi-dimensional concept discovery (MCD): A unifying framework with completeness guarantees

Johanna Vielhaben, Stefan Blücher, Nils Strodthoff

The completeness axiom renders the explanation of a post-hoc XAI method only locally faithful to the model, i.e. for a single decision. For the trustworthy application of XAI, in p…

Reconstructing Kernel-based Machine Learning Force Fields with Super-linear Convergence

Stefan Blücher, Klaus-Robert Müller, Stefan Chmiela

Kernel machines have sustained continuous progress in the field of quantum chemistry. In particular, they have proven to be successful in the low-data regime of force field reconst…

Sparse Subspace Clustering for Concept Discovery (SSCCD)

Johanna Vielhaben, Stefan Blücher, Nils Strodthoff

Concepts are key building blocks of higher level human understanding. Explainable AI (XAI) methods have shown tremendous progress in recent years, however, local attribution method…

PredDiff: Explanations and Interactions from Conditional Expectations

Stefan Blücher, Johanna Vielhaben, Nils Strodthoff

PredDiff is a model-agnostic, local attribution method that is firmly rooted in probability theory. Its simple intuition is to measure prediction changes while marginalizing featur…

Reweighting Lefschetz Thimbles

Stefan Bluecher, Jan M. Pawlowski, Manuel Scherzer +4

We present a novel reweighting technique to calculate the relative weights in the Lefschetz thimble decomposition of a path integral. Our method is put to work using a one-l…

Reweighting Lefschetz Thimbles

Stefan Bluecher, Jan M. Pawlowski, Manuel Scherzer +4

One of the main challenges in simulations on Lefschetz thimbles is the computation of the relative weights of contributing thimbles. In this paper we propose a solution to that pro…
