The Mythos of Model Interpretability: In machine learning, the concept of interpretability is both important and slippery.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors ask whether or not a supervised machine learning model will work in deployment, and what else can it tell you about the world, besides its predictive capabilities.

Abstract: Supervised machine-learning models boast remarkable predictive capabilities. But can you trust your model? Will it work in deployment? What else can it tell you about the world?

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI): Concepts, Taxonomies, Opportunities and Challenges toward Responsible AI.
Alejandro Barredo Arrieta,Natalia Díaz-Rodríguez,Javier Del Ser,Javier Del Ser,Adrien Bennetot,Adrien Bennetot,Siham Tabik,Alberto Barbado,Salvador García,Sergio Gil-Lopez,Daniel Molina,Richard Benjamins,Raja Chatila,Francisco Herrera +13 more
TL;DR: Previous efforts to define explainability in Machine Learning are summarized, establishing a novel definition that covers prior conceptual propositions with a major focus on the audience for which explainability is sought, and a taxonomy of recent contributions related to the explainability of different Machine Learning models are proposed.

Fuzhen Zhuang,Zhiyuan Qi,Keyu Duan,Dongbo Xi,Yongchun Zhu,Hengshu Zhu,Hui Xiong,Qing He +7 more
- 01 Jan 2021
TL;DR: Transfer learning aims to improve the performance of target learners on target domains by transferring the knowledge contained in different but related source domains as discussed by the authors, in which the dependence on a large number of target-domain data can be reduced for constructing target learners.

Explanation in artificial intelligence: Insights from the social sciences
TL;DR: This paper argues that the field of explainable artificial intelligence should build on existing research, and reviews relevant papers from philosophy, cognitive psychology/science, and social psychology, which study these topics, and draws out some important findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, a taxonomy of recent contributions related to explainability of different machine learning models, including those aimed at explaining Deep Learning methods, is presented, and a second dedicated taxonomy is built and examined in detail.

A Survey of Methods for Explaining Black Box Models
Riccardo Guidotti,Anna Monreale,Salvatore Ruggieri,Franco Turini,Fosca Giannotti,Dino Pedreschi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a classification of the main problems addressed in the literature with respect to the notion of explanation and the type of black box decision support systems, given a problem definition, a black box type, and a desired explanation, this survey should help the researcher to find the proposals more useful for his own work.

TL;DR: This study studies the performance of generalized additive models (GAMs), which combine single-feature models called shape functions through a linear function, and presents the first large-scale empirical comparison of existing methods for learning GAMs.

TL;DR: An empirical study is presented which investigates the suitability of a number of alternative representation formats for classification when interpretability is a key requirement and reveals a clear preference of users for decision tables in terms of ease of use.

The Bayesian Case Model: A Generative Approach for Case-Based Reasoning and Prototype Classification
Been Kim,Cynthia Rudin,Julie A. Shah +2 more
- 08 Dec 2014
TL;DR: The Bayesian Case Model (BCM) as discussed by the authors is a general framework for Bayesian case-based reasoning and prototype classification and clustering, which learns prototypes, the "quintessential" observations that best represent clusters in a dataset.
