• Abstract: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to provide insights into the decision-making process of AI models, allowing users to understand their results beyond their decisions. A significant goal of XAI is to improve the performance of AI models by providing explanations for their decision-making processes. However, most XAI literature focuses on how to explain an AI system, while less attention has been given to how XAI methods can be exploited to improve an AI system. In this work, a set of well-known XAI methods typically used with Machine Learning (ML) classification tasks are investigated to verify if they can be exploited, not just to provide explanations but also to improve the performance of the model itself. To this aim, two strategies to use the explanation to improve a classification system are reported and empirically evaluated on three datasets: Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR10, and STL10. Results suggest that explanations built by Integrated Gradients highlight input features that can be effectively used to improve classification performance.

  This study investigates the potential of feature attribution methods to filter out uninformative features in input data for regression problems. We introduce a feature selection pipeline that combines Integrated Gradients with k-means clustering to select an optimal set of variables from the initial data space. To validate the effectiveness of this approach, we apply it to a real-world industrial problem - blade vibration analysis in the development process of turbo machinery.

  The number and complexity of personalised and user-centred approaches to XAI have rapidly grown in recent years. It emerged that user-centred approaches to XAI positively affect the interaction between users and systems. We propose an assessment task to objectively and quantitatively measure the goodness of XAI systems.
