Contrastive Explanations for Explaining Model Adaptations

원문 초록

Many decision making systems deployed in the real world are not static - a phenomenon known as model adaptation takes place over time. The need for transparency and interpretability of AI-based decision models is widely accepted and thus have been worked on extensively. Usually, explanation methods assume a static system that has to be explained. Explaining non-static systems is still an open research question, which poses the challenge how to explain model adaptations. In this contribution, we propose and (empirically) evaluate a framework for explaining model adaptations by contrastive explanations. We also propose a method for automatically finding regions in data space that are affected by a given model adaptation and thus should be explained.
