Back to the Baseline: Examining Baseline Effects on Explainability Metrics
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
- A recent study published on arXiv examines the effects of baseline choices on explainability metrics in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), particularly focusing on attribution methods evaluated through Fidelity metrics. The research highlights that the selection of a baseline can favor certain attribution methods, leading to inconsistent results even with simple models.
- This development is significant as it raises critical questions about the reliability of current evaluation methods in XAI, emphasizing the need for a standardized approach to baseline selection that ensures fair comparisons across different attribution techniques.
- The findings resonate with ongoing discussions in the AI community regarding biases in model evaluations and the importance of transparency in AI systems. As researchers explore various methodologies, including sensitivity analysis and the impact of biases in language models, the need for robust evaluation frameworks becomes increasingly evident.
