• Abstract: Explainability is a gateway between Artificial Intelligence and society as the current popular deep learning models are generally weak in explaining the reasoning process and prediction results. Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanation (LIME) is a recent technique that explains the predictions of any classifier faithfully by learning an interpretable model locally around the prediction. However, the sampling operation in the standard implementation of LIME is defective. Perturbed samples are generated from a uniform distribution, ignoring the complicated correlation between features. This paper proposes a novel Modified Perturbed Sampling operation for LIME (MPS-LIME), which is formalized as the clique set construction problem. In image classification, MPS-LIME converts the superpixel image into an undirected graph. Various experiments show that the MPS-LIME explanation of the black-box model achieves much better performance in terms of understandability, fidelity, and efficiency.

  Uncertainty propagation is a technique to determine model output uncertainties based on the uncertainty in its input variables. In this work, we investigate the hypothesis that while all samples are useful on average, some samples must be more useful than others. We introduce a methodology to adaptively reorder MC samples and show how it results in reduction of computational expense of UP processes.

• Good Classifiers are Abundant in the Interpolating Regime [64.72044662855612]
  We develop a methodology to compute precisely the full distribution of test errors among interpolating classifiers. We find that test errors tend to concentrate around a small typical value $varepsilon*$, which deviates substantially from the test error of worst-case interpolating model. Our results show that the usual style of analysis in statistical learning theory may not be fine-grained enough to capture the good generalization performance observed in practice.
