The proposed work investigates the effectiveness of various explainability models in machine learning, particularly Integrated Gradients, LIME, and SmoothGrad. It establishes theoretical lower bounds on the probabilistic Lipschitzness of these methods, which is linked to the quality of post-hoc explanations. The research also introduces a novel metric, normalised astuteness, for evaluating the robustness of explainability models. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the stable rank of a neural network provides a heuristic for the robustness of these models.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper explores which explainability model works best in machine learning. It shows that the quality of explanations from methods like Integrated Gradients, LIME, and SmoothGrad is connected to how smooth their output is. The research develops a new way to measure how well an explanation model performs, called normalised astuteness. It also finds that the stability of a neural network can be used as a guide for which explanation models are most reliable.
