• Abstract: The lack of interpretability is an inevitable problem when using neural network models in real applications. In this paper, an explainable neural network based on generalized additive models with structured interactions (GAMI-Net) is proposed to pursue a good balance between prediction accuracy and model interpretability. GAMI-Net is a disentangled feedforward network with multiple additive subnetworks; each subnetwork consists of multiple hidden layers and is designed for capturing one main effect or one pairwise interaction. Three interpretability aspects are further considered, including a) sparsity, to select the most significant effects for parsimonious representations; b) heredity, a pairwise interaction could only be included when at least one of its parent main effects exists; and c) marginal clarity, to make main effects and pairwise interactions mutually distinguishable. An adaptive training algorithm is developed, where main effects are first trained and then pairwise interactions are fitted to the residuals. Numerical experiments on both synthetic functions and real-world datasets show that the proposed model enjoys superior interpretability and it maintains competitive prediction accuracy in comparison to the explainable boosting machine and other classic machine learning models.

  We propose a framework that acquires more explainable activation heatmaps and simultaneously increase the model performance. Specifically, our framework introduces a new metric, i.e., explanation consistency, to reweight the training samples adaptively in model learning. Our framework then promotes the model learning by paying closer attention to those training samples with a high difference in explanations.
