• Authors: Ioannis Mollas, Nick Bassiliades, Grigorios Tsoumakas
• Abstract summary: Existing explanation techniques are often not comprehensible to the end user. We introduce a preliminary meta-explanation methodology that identifies the truthful parts of feature importance oriented interpretations. Experimentation strongly indicates that an ensemble of multiple interpretation techniques yields considerably more truthful explanations.

• Abstract: Explainable AI is an emerging field providing solutions for acquiring insights into automated systems' rationale. It has been put on the AI map by suggesting ways to tackle key ethical and societal issues. Existing explanation techniques are often not comprehensible to the end user. Lack of evaluation and selection criteria also makes it difficult for the end user to choose the most suitable technique. In this study, we combine logic-based argumentation with Interpretable Machine Learning, introducing a preliminary meta-explanation methodology that identifies the truthful parts of feature importance oriented interpretations. This approach, in addition to being used as a meta-explanation technique, can be used as an evaluation or selection tool for multiple feature importance techniques. Experimentation strongly indicates that an ensemble of multiple interpretation techniques yields considerably more truthful explanations.

  There is no single approach that is best suited for a given context. For AI explainability to be effective, explanations and how they are presented needs to be oriented towards the stakeholder receiving the explanation. We propose a modular reasoning system consisting of a given mental model of the relevant stakeholder, a reasoner component that solves the argumentation problem generated by a multi-explainer component, and an AI model that is to be explained suitably to the stakeholder of interest.

  We evaluate whether explanations can improve human decision-making in practical scenarios of machine learning model development. To our surprise, we did not find evidence of significant improvement on tasks when users were provided with any of the saliency maps. These findings suggest caution regarding the usefulness and potential for misunderstanding in saliency-based explanations.

  Second-order explainable AI (SOXAI) was recently proposed to extend explainable AI (XAI) from the instance level to the dataset level. We demonstrate for the first time, via example classification and segmentation cases, that eliminating irrelevant concepts from the training set based on actionable insights from SOXAI can enhance a model's performance.

  We take a step back from sophisticated predictive algorithms and look into explainability of simple decision-making models. We aim to assess how people perceive comprehensibility of their different representations. This allows us to capture how diverse stakeholders judge intelligibility of fundamental concepts that more elaborate artificial intelligence explanations are built from.

We present a novel approach to generate such counterfactual image explanations based on adversarial image-to-image translation techniques. Our results show that our approach leads to significantly better results regarding mental models, explanation satisfaction, trust, emotions, and self-efficacy than two state-of-the art systems.
