• Abstract: EXplainable AI (XAI) constitutes a popular method to analyze the reasoning of AI systems by explaining their decision-making, e.g. providing a counterfactual explanation of how to achieve recourse. However, in cases such as unexpected explanations, the user might be interested in learning about the cause of this explanation -- e.g. properties of the utilized training data that are responsible for the observed explanation. Under the umbrella of data valuation, first approaches have been proposed that estimate the influence of data samples on a given model. In this work, we take a slightly different stance, as we are interested in the influence of single samples on a model explanation rather than the model itself. Hence, we propose the novel problem of identifying training data samples that have a high influence on a given explanation (or related quantity) and investigate the particular case of differences in the cost of the recourse between protected groups. For this, we propose an algorithm that identifies such influential training samples.

  A machine learning model is trained to predict feature attribution scores with only one inference. Despite their efficiency, amortized explainers can produce inaccurate predictions and misleading explanations. We propose selective explanations, a novel feature attribution method that detects when amortized explainers generate low-quality explanations.

  We evaluate whether explanations can improve human decision-making in practical scenarios of machine learning model development. To our surprise, we did not find evidence of significant improvement on tasks when users were provided with any of the saliency maps. These findings suggest caution regarding the usefulness and potential for misunderstanding in saliency-based explanations.

  Second-order explainable AI (SOXAI) was recently proposed to extend explainable AI (XAI) from the instance level to the dataset level. We demonstrate for the first time, via example classification and segmentation cases, that eliminating irrelevant concepts from the training set based on actionable insights from SOXAI can enhance a model's performance.
