Graph Additive Models disentangling feature, topology, and interactions

Clara Alvarez-Rodriguez, Steve Azzolin, Vincenzo Marco De Luca +3

Graph Neural Additive Networks (GNANs) have emerged as effective, interpretable-by-design architectures for graph learning. They achieve transparency by combining per-feature shape…

When Are Concept Bottleneck Model Explanations Faithful and Compact?

Stefano Teso, Emanuele Marconato, Steve Azzolin +1

Concept bottleneck models (CBMs) are neural classifiers that allow to explain their decisions via high-level concepts, potentially enabling understanding, steering and debugging. H…

Beyond Trained Models: Compiling GNNs for a Sound Explainer Benchmark

Steve Azzolin, Francesco Paolo Nerini, Stefano Teso +4

Explainers for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are commonly evaluated by their plausibility, i.e., how well their explanations recover a predefined ground truth, such as a motif plant…

Overcoming Shortcut Learning in Graph Neural Networks through Active Explanation Guidance

Taraneh Younesian, Steve Azzolin, Antonio Longa +3

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) can solve prediction tasks by unintentionally exploiting shortcuts---that is, edges, nodes, and features that correlate with but are not causal for the…

GNN Explanations that do not Explain and How to find Them

Steve Azzolin, Stefano Teso, Bruno Lepri +2

Explanations provided by Self-explainable Graph Neural Networks (SE-GNNs) are fundamental for understanding the model's inner workings and for identifying potential misuse of sensi…
