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.

Levels of explainable artificial intelligence for human-aligned conversational explanations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define levels of explanation and describe how they can be integrated to create a human-aligned conversational explanation system, and discuss the integration of different technologies to achieve these levels with Broad eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (Broad-XAI), and thereby move towards high-level ‘strong’ explanations.

Instance-Based Counterfactual Explanations for Time Series Classification

TL;DR: The Native-Guide method retrieves and uses native in-samplecounterfactuals that already exist in the training data as "guides" for perturbation in time series counterfactual generation, coupled with both Euclidean and Dynamic Time Warping distance measures.

The Three Ghosts of Medical AI: Can the Black-Box Present Deliver?

TL;DR: This article argues that opaque models (1) lack quality assurance, (2) fail to elicit trust, and (3) restrict physician-patient dialogue, and discusses how upholding transparency in all aspects of model design and model validation can help ensure the reliability of medical AI.

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.
