Explainable Deep Learning: A Field Guide for the Uninitiated

Ras, Gabrielle, Xie, Ning, van Gerven, Marcel et al.

Understand

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a proven and indispensable machine learning tool.

  • As a black-box model, it remains difficult to diagnose what aspects of the model's input drive the decisions of a DNN.
  • In countless real-world domains, from legislation and law enforcement to healthcare, such diagnosis is essential to ensure that DNN decisions are driven by aspects appropriate in the context of its use.
  • The development of methods and studies enabling the explanation of a DNN's decisions has thus blossomed into an active, broad area of research.
