• Title: Introducing the Attribution Stability Indicator: a Measure for Time Series XAI Attributions
• Authors: Udo Schlegel, Daniel A. Keim
• Abstract summary: We propose the Attribution Stability Indicator (ASI) to incorporate robustness and trustworthiness as properties of attribution techniques for time series into account. We demonstrate the wanted properties based on an analysis of the attributions in a dimension-reduced space and the ASI scores distribution over three whole time series classification datasets.

• Abstract: Given the increasing amount and general complexity of time series data in domains such as finance, weather forecasting, and healthcare, there is a growing need for state-of-the-art performance models that can provide interpretable insights into underlying patterns and relationships. Attribution techniques enable the extraction of explanations from time series models to gain insights but are hard to evaluate for their robustness and trustworthiness. We propose the Attribution Stability Indicator (ASI), a measure to incorporate robustness and trustworthiness as properties of attribution techniques for time series into account. We extend a perturbation analysis with correlations of the original time series to the perturbed instance and the attributions to include wanted properties in the measure. We demonstrate the wanted properties based on an analysis of the attributions in a dimension-reduced space and the ASI scores distribution over three whole time series classification datasets.

  Real-world tasks such as forecasting weather, electricity consumption, and stock market involve predicting data that vary over time. Time-series data are generally recorded over a long period of observation with long sequences owing to their periodic characteristics and long-range dependencies over time. We propose two novel modules, Grouped Self-Attention (GSA) and Compressed Cross-Attention (CCA) Our proposed model efficiently exhibited reduced computational complexity and performance comparable to or better than existing methods.
