TLDR
This survey provides an entry point for interested researchers and practitioners to learn key aspects of the young and rapidly growing body of research related to XAI, and review the existing approaches regarding the topic, discuss trends surrounding its sphere, and present major research trajectories.
Abstract
At the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, we are witnessing a fast and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily life, which contributes to accelerating the shift towards a more algorithmic society. However, even with such unprecedented advancements, a key impediment to the use of AI-based systems is that they often lack transparency. Indeed, the black-box nature of these systems allows powerful predictions, but it cannot be directly explained. This issue has triggered a new debate on explainable AI (XAI). A research field holds substantial promise for improving trust and transparency of AI-based systems. It is recognized as the sine qua non for AI to continue making steady progress without disruption. This survey provides an entry point for interested researchers and practitioners to learn key aspects of the young and rapidly growing body of research related to XAI. Through the lens of the literature, we review the existing approaches regarding the topic, discuss trends surrounding its sphere, and present major research trajectories.

Neural Prototype Trees for Interpretable Fine-grained Image Recognition

TL;DR: The Neural Prototype Tree (ProtoTree), an intrinsically interpretable deep learning method for fine-grained image recognition that combines prototype learning with decision trees, and thus results in a globally interpretable model by design.

Explaining anomalies detected by autoencoders using Shapley Additive Explanations

TL;DR: This paper proposes a black-box explanation method, which uses Kernel SHAP to explain anomalies detected by an autoencoder, which is an unsupervised model, and demonstrates that the explanations it provides are more effective at reducing the anomaly score than other methods.

Understanding artificial intelligence ethics and safety.

TL;DR: This guide identifies the potential harms caused by AI systems and proposes concrete, operationalisable measures to counteract them and builds out a vision of human-centred and context-sensitive implementation that gives a central role to communication, evidence-based reasoning, situational awareness, and moral justifiability.

Design and application of gene-pool optimal mixing evolutionary algorithms for genetic programming

TL;DR: Machine learning is impacting modern society at large, thanks to its increasing potential to effciently and effectively model complex and heterogeneous phenomena, but it is not infallible and models can deliver unreasonable outcomes.

Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network

TL;DR: This work shows that it can significantly improve the acoustic model of a heavily used commercial system by distilling the knowledge in an ensemble of models into a single model and introduces a new type of ensemble composed of one or more full models and many specialist models which learn to distinguish fine-grained classes that the full models confuse.
