• Authors: Payel Sadhukhan, Sarbani palit, Kausik Sengupta
• Abstract summary: Explainability can allow end-users to have a transparent and humane reckoning of a machine learning scheme's capability and utility. In this work, we explain the features on the basis of their class or category-distinguishing capabilities. We validate the explainability given by our scheme empirically on several real-world, multi-class datasets.

• Abstract: The relevance of machine learning (ML) in our daily lives is closely intertwined with its explainability. Explainability can allow end-users to have a transparent and humane reckoning of a ML scheme's capability and utility. It will also foster the user's confidence in the automated decisions of a system. Explaining the variables or features to explain a model's decision is a need of the present times. We could not really find any work, which explains the features on the basis of their class-distinguishing abilities (specially when the real world data are mostly of multi-class nature). In any given dataset, a feature is not equally good at making distinctions between the different possible categorizations (or classes) of the data points. In this work, we explain the features on the basis of their class or category-distinguishing capabilities. We particularly estimate the class-distinguishing capabilities (scores) of the variables for pair-wise class combinations. We validate the explainability given by our scheme empirically on several real-world, multi-class datasets. We further utilize the class-distinguishing scores in a latent feature context and propose a novel decision making protocol. Another novelty of this work lies with a \emph{refuse to render decision} option when the latent variable (of the test point) has a high class-distinguishing potential for the likely classes.

  Class-Incremental Learning (CIL) enables the learner to incorporate the knowledge of new classes incrementally. CIL tends to catastrophically forget the characteristics of former ones, and its performance drastically degrades. We provide a rigorous and unified evaluation of 17 methods in benchmark image classification tasks to find out the characteristics of different algorithms.

  Interpretable machine learning offers insights into what factors drive a certain prediction of a black-box system. Existing methods mainly focus on selecting explanatory input features, which follow either locally additive or instance-wise approaches. This work exploits the strengths of both methods and proposes a global framework for learning local explanations simultaneously for multiple target classes.
