Structural Compactness as a Complementary Criterion for Explanation Quality
Mohammad Mahdi Mesgari, Jackie Ma, Wojciech Samek +2
In the evaluation of attribution quality, the quantitative assessment of explanation legibility is particularly difficult, as it is influenced by varying shapes and internal organi…
See What I Mean? CUE: A Cognitive Model of Understanding Explanations
Tobias Labarta, Nhi Hoang, Katharina Weitz +3
As machine learning systems increasingly inform critical decisions, the need for human-understandable explanations grows. Current evaluations of Explainable AI (XAI) often prioriti…
Relevance-driven Input Dropout: an Explanation-guided Regularization Technique
Shreyas Gururaj, Lars Grüne, Wojciech Samek +2
Overfitting is a well-known issue extending even to state-of-the-art (SOTA) Machine Learning (ML) models, resulting in reduced generalization, and a significant train-test performa…
A Fresh Look at Sanity Checks for Saliency Maps
Anna Hedström, Leander Weber, Sebastian Lapuschkin +1
The Model Parameter Randomisation Test (MPRT) is highly recognised in the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) community due to its fundamental evaluative criterion: explanati…
Sanity Checks Revisited: An Exploration to Repair the Model Parameter Randomisation Test
Anna Hedström, Leander Weber, Sebastian Lapuschkin +1
The Model Parameter Randomisation Test (MPRT) is widely acknowledged in the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) community for its well-motivated evaluative principle: that th…
Efficient and Flexible Neural Network Training through Layer-wise Feedback Propagation
Leander Weber, Jim Berend, Moritz Weckbecker +4
Gradient-based optimization has been a cornerstone of machine learning that enabled the vast advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) development over the past decades. However, th…
Shortcomings of Top-Down Randomization-Based Sanity Checks for Evaluations of Deep Neural Network Explanations
Alexander Binder, Leander Weber, Sebastian Lapuschkin +3
While the evaluation of explanations is an important step towards trustworthy models, it needs to be done carefully, and the employed metrics need to be well-understood. Specifical…
Explain to Not Forget: Defending Against Catastrophic Forgetting with XAI
Sami Ede, Serop Baghdadlian, Leander Weber +4
The ability to continuously process and retain new information like we do naturally as humans is a feat that is highly sought after when training neural networks. Unfortunately, th…
Beyond Explaining: Opportunities and Challenges of XAI-Based Model Improvement
Leander Weber, Sebastian Lapuschkin, Alexander Binder +1
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is an emerging research field bringing transparency to highly complex and opaque machine learning (ML) models. Despite the development of…
Measurably Stronger Explanation Reliability via Model Canonization
Franz Motzkus, Leander Weber, Sebastian Lapuschkin
While rule-based attribution methods have proven useful for providing local explanations for Deep Neural Networks, explaining modern and more varied network architectures yields ne…
Quantus: An Explainable AI Toolkit for Responsible Evaluation of Neural Network Explanations and Beyond
Anna Hedström, Leander Weber, Dilyara Bareeva +5
The evaluation of explanation methods is a research topic that has not yet been explored deeply, however, since explainability is supposed to strengthen trust in artificial intelli…
Navigating Neural Space: Revisiting Concept Activation Vectors to Overcome Directional Divergence
Frederik Pahde, Maximilian Dreyer, Leander Weber +5
With a growing interest in understanding neural network prediction strategies, Concept Activation Vectors (CAVs) have emerged as a popular tool for modeling human-understandable co…
Understanding Integrated Gradients with SmoothTaylor for Deep Neural Network Attribution
Gary S. W. Goh, Sebastian Lapuschkin, Leander Weber +2
Integrated Gradients as an attribution method for deep neural network models offers simple implementability. However, it suffers from noisiness of explanations which affects the ea…
