The proposed explainability algorithms aim to balance faithfulness and plausibility when interpreting AI decision-making processes. By comparing selected methods against expert-level interpretations across three NLP tasks, the study finds that traditional perturbation-based methods like Shapley value and LIME can achieve high levels of both faithfulness and plausibility. This suggests that explainability algorithms should optimize for dual objectives to provide accurate and accessible explanations.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The research aims to improve AI decision-making by balancing two important factors: accuracy and user understanding. The study compares different methods used to explain AI decisions with expert opinions on three tasks: sentiment analysis, intent detection, and topic labeling. The results show that some methods are better at providing accurate and easy-to-understand explanations.
