Explainable AI for Cancer Drug Response Prediction: Beyond Univariate Feature Attributions
Martino Ciaperoni, Margherita Lalli, Simone Piaggesi +6
Predicting cancer drug response from transcriptomic profiles is a cornerstone of precision oncology, yet the scientific value of machine learning models hinges not solely on predic…
Explanations Go Linear: Post-hoc Explainability for Tabular Data with Interpretable Meta-Encoding
Simone Piaggesi, Riccardo Guidotti, Fosca Giannotti +1
Post-hoc explainability is essential for understanding black-box machine learning models. Surrogate-based techniques are widely used for local and global model-agnostic explanation…
The Diversity Paradox revisited: Systemic Effects of Feedback Loops in Recommender Systems
Gabriele Barlacchi, Margherita Lalli, Emanuele Ferragina +3
Recommender systems shape individual choices through feedback loops in which user behavior and algorithmic recommendations coevolve over time. The systemic effects of these loops r…
A survey on the impacts of recommender systems on users, items, and human-AI ecosystems
Luca Pappalardo, Salvatore Citraro, Giuliano Cornacchia +12
Recommendation systems and assistants (in short, recommenders) influence through online platforms most actions of our daily lives, suggesting items or providing solutions based on…
A computational framework for quantifying route diversification in road networks
Giuliano Cornacchia, Luca Pappalardo, Mirco Nanni +2
The structure of road networks impacts various urban dynamics, from traffic congestion to environmental sustainability and access to essential services. Recent studies reveal that…
Interpretable and Fair Mechanisms for Abstaining Classifiers
Daphne Lenders, Andrea Pugnana, Roberto Pellungrini +3
Abstaining classifiers have the option to refrain from providing a prediction for instances that are difficult to classify. The abstention mechanism is designed to trade off the cl…
