TLDR
This work introduces a novel model-agnostic system that explains the behavior of complex models with high-precision rules called anchors, representing local, “sufficient” conditions for predictions, and proposes an algorithm to efficiently compute these explanations for any black-box model with high probability guarantees.
Abstract
We introduce a novel model-agnostic system that explains the behavior of complex models with high-precision rules called anchors, representing local, "sufficient" conditions for predictions. We propose an algorithm to efficiently compute these explanations for any black-box model with high-probability guarantees. We demonstrate the flexibility of anchors by explaining a myriad of different models for different domains and tasks. In a user study, we show that anchors enable users to predict how a model would behave on unseen instances with less effort and higher precision, as compared to existing linear explanations or no explanations.

A Survey of Methods for Explaining Black Box Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a classification of the main problems addressed in the literature with respect to the notion of explanation and the type of black box decision support systems, given a problem definition, a black box type, and a desired explanation, this survey should help the researcher to find the proposals more useful for his own work.
