This paper introduces SCENE (Soft Counterfactual Evaluation for Natural language Explainability), a novel evaluation method that generates Soft Counterfactual explanations in zero-shot manner. Popular XAI methods like LIME and SHAP are unstable and potentially misleading, highlighting the need for standardized evaluation approach. SCENE leverages large language models to create token-based substitutions, providing contextually appropriate and semantically meaningful Soft Counterfactuals without fine-tuning. The paper adopts Validitysoft and Csoft metrics to assess model-agnostic XAI methods in text classification tasks, shedding light on strengths and limitations of various XAI techniques.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper helps make AI models more transparent and accountable by creating a new way to evaluate explanations. Currently, popular methods like LIME and SHAP can be misleading or unstable, so this paper introduces SCENE, a method that uses large language models to create meaningful explanations without needing lots of training data. It also compares how well different XAI techniques work in text classification tasks.
