• Abstract: The importance of explainability in AI has become a pressing concern, for which several explainable AI (XAI) approaches have been recently proposed. However, most of the available XAI techniques are post-hoc methods, which however may be only partially reliable, as they do not reflect exactly the state of the original models. Thus, a more direct way for achieving XAI is through interpretable (also called glass-box) models. These models have been shown to obtain comparable (and, in some cases, better) performance with respect to black-boxes models in various tasks such as classification and reinforcement learning. However, they struggle when working with raw data, especially when the input dimensionality increases and the raw inputs alone do not give valuable insights on the decision-making process. Here, we propose to use end-to-end pipelines composed of multiple interpretable models co-optimized by means of evolutionary algorithms, that allows us to decompose the decision-making process into two parts: computing high-level features from raw data, and reasoning on the extracted high-level features. We test our approach in reinforcement learning environments from the Atari benchmark, where we obtain comparable results (with respect to black-box approaches) in settings without stochastic frame-skipping, while performance degrades in frame-skipping settings.

  Fine-tuned Fidelity F-Fidelity is a robust evaluation framework for XAI. We show that F-Fidelity significantly improves upon prior evaluation metrics in recovering the ground-truth ranking of explainers. We also show that given a faithful explainer, F-Fidelity metric can be used to compute the sparsity of influential input components.

  We study the learning process of a two-layer nonlinear convolutional neural network in the presence of spurious features. Our analysis suggests that imbalanced data groups and easily learnable spurious features can lead to the dominance of spurious features during the learning process. We propose a new training algorithm called PDE that efficiently enhances the model's robustness for a better worst-group performance.

In this work, we propose canonizations for currently relevant model blocks applicable to popular deep neural network architectures.
