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.

Detecting Bias in Black-Box Models Using Transparent Model Distillation.

TL;DR: This paper presents a new method for detecting bias in black-box risk scores by assessing if contributions of protected features to the risk score are statistically different from their contributions to the actual outcome.

MAGIX: Model Agnostic Globally Interpretable Explanations.

TL;DR: The approach works by first extracting conditions that were important at the instance level and then evolving rules through a genetic algorithm with an appropriate fitness function that represent the patterns followed by the model for decisioning and are useful for understanding its behavior.

Interpretable models from distributed data via merging of decision trees

TL;DR: This work proposes an approach for efficient merging of decision trees (each learned independently) into a single decision tree that complements the existing distributed decision trees algorithms by providing interpretable intermediate models and tolerating constraints on bandwidth and RAM size.

Transparent Model Distillation.

TL;DR: This work investigates model distillation for transparency -- investigating if fully-connected neural networks can be distilled into models that are transparent or interpretable in some sense, and tries two types of student models.

TIP: Typifying the Interpretability of Procedures.

TL;DR: A novel notion of what it means to be interpretable is provided, looking past the usual association with human understanding, and a framework that allows for comparing interpretable procedures by linking it to important practical aspects such as accuracy and robustness is defined.
