From Confusion to Clarity: ProtoScore - A Framework for Evaluating Prototype-Based XAI

arXiv — cs.LG•Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
ProtoScore represents a significant advancement in the field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), particularly in addressing the challenges posed by the complexity and opacity of neural networks in critical sectors such as healthcare, finance, and law. The lack of standardized benchmarks has hindered the objective evaluation of prototype-based XAI methods, leading to subjective assessments that can undermine trust in AI systems. By establishing a robust framework for assessing these methods, ProtoScore aims to fill this gap, facilitating fair and comprehensive evaluations across various data types, with a specific focus on time series data. This initiative not only enhances the understanding of AI decision-making processes but also promotes the validation of fairness in outcomes, which is crucial for fostering appropriate trust in AI technologies.

Virtual Human Generative Model: Masked Modeling Approach for Learning Human Characteristics
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The Virtual Human Generative Model (VHGM) is a generative model designed to approximate the joint probability of over 2000 healthcare-related human attributes. The core algorithm, VHGM-MAE, is a masked autoencoder specifically developed to manage high-dimensional, sparse healthcare data. It addresses challenges such as data heterogeneity, probability distribution modeling, systematic missingness, and the small-$n$-large-$p$ problem by employing a likelihood-based approach and a transformer-based architecture to capture complex dependencies.

SWAT-NN: Simultaneous Weights and Architecture Training for Neural Networks in a Latent Space
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The paper presents SWAT-NN, a novel approach for optimizing neural networks by simultaneously training both their architecture and weights. Unlike traditional methods that rely on manual adjustments or discrete searches, SWAT-NN utilizes a multi-scale autoencoder to embed architectural and parametric information into a continuous latent space. This allows for efficient model optimization through gradient descent, incorporating penalties for sparsity and compactness to enhance model efficiency.

Contextual Learning for Anomaly Detection in Tabular Data
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Anomaly detection is essential in fields like cybersecurity and finance, particularly with large-scale tabular data. Traditional unsupervised methods struggle due to their reliance on a single global distribution, which does not account for the diverse contexts present in real-world data. This paper introduces a contextual learning framework that models normal behavior variations across different contexts, focusing on conditional data distributions instead of a global joint distribution, enhancing anomaly detection effectiveness.

Fair-GNE : Generalized Nash Equilibrium-Seeking Fairness in Multiagent Healthcare Automation
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses Fair-GNE, a framework designed to ensure fair workload allocation among multiple agents in healthcare settings. It addresses the limitations of existing multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) approaches that do not guarantee self-enforceable fairness during runtime. By employing a generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) framework, Fair-GNE enables agents to optimize their decisions while ensuring that no single agent can unilaterally improve its utility, thus promoting equitable resource sharing among healthcare workers.

Do Large Language Models (LLMs) Understand Chronology?
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly utilized in finance and economics, where their ability to understand chronology is critical. A study tested this capability through various chronological ordering tasks, revealing that while models like GPT-4.1 and GPT-5 can maintain local order, they struggle with creating a consistent global timeline. The findings indicate a significant drop in exact match rates as task complexity increases, particularly in conditional sorting tasks, highlighting inherent limitations in LLMs' chronological reasoning.
