This study tackles the challenge of interpretability in neural networks with single hidden layers. The authors establish a theoretical framework showing that neural networks can be viewed as nonparametric regression models. They propose statistical tests to assess input neuron significance, dimensionality reduction algorithms (clustering and PCA) to simplify the network, and improve its accuracy. Key contributions include bootstrapping for ANN performance evaluation, statistical tests and logistic regression for analyzing hidden neurons, and assessing neuron efficiency. The study applies these methods to the IDC and Iris datasets, validating their practical utility. This research advances Explainable Artificial Intelligence by presenting robust statistical frameworks for interpreting neural networks, enabling a deeper understanding of input-output relationships.

This study helps people understand how neural networks work. It shows that these networks can be seen as simple math formulas, not just complex computer programs. The researchers developed new tools to help us see what’s happening inside the network. They tested these tools on real data and showed they work well. This is important because it lets us use neural networks in a way that makes sense, rather than just relying on them to make decisions for us.
