• Authors: Alicja Chaszczewicz
• Abstract summary: Our work serves as a framework for unifying the challenges of contemporary explainable AI (XAI) We demonstrate that while XAI methods provide supplementary and potentially useful output for machine learning models, researchers and decision-makers should be mindful of their conceptual and technical limitations. We examine three XAI research avenues spanning image, textual, and graph data, covering saliency, attention, and graph-type explainers.

• Abstract: Our work serves as a framework for unifying the challenges of contemporary explainable AI (XAI). We demonstrate that while XAI methods provide supplementary and potentially useful output for machine learning models, researchers and decision-makers should be mindful of their conceptual and technical limitations, which frequently result in these methods themselves becoming black boxes. We examine three XAI research avenues spanning image, textual, and graph data, covering saliency, attention, and graph-type explainers. Despite the varying contexts and timeframes of the mentioned cases, the same persistent roadblocks emerge, highlighting the need for a conceptual breakthrough in the field to address the challenge of compatibility between XAI methods and application tasks.

  We describe a preliminary case study on the use of XAI for source code classification. We find that the outputs of state-of-the-art saliency explanation techniques are lost in translation when interpreted by people with little AI expertise. We outline unaddressed gaps in practical and effective XAI, then touch on how emerging technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) could mitigate these existing obstacles.

  Black-box nature of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models do not allow users to comprehend and sometimes trust the output created by such model. In AI applications, where not only the results but also the decision paths to the results are critical, such black-box AI models are not sufficient. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) addresses this problem and defines a set of AI models that are interpretable by the users.
