Approach to Explaining Neural Networks
Our method involves approximating black-box Neural Networks with interpretable symbolic theories using ILASP (Inductive Learning of Answer Set Programs). This post-hoc approach ensures explanations are faithful to the black-box's behavior without requiring internal modifications.
We've developed a novel framework that applies ILASP both globally (approximating overall decision logic) and locally (explaining specific predictions). To tackle high-dimensional feature spaces, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is integrated, reducing complexity while preserving explanation transparency.
A unique ground-truth-based metric is introduced to assess the quality of learned logical theories, aligning them with real-world user preferences collected via a curated recipe dataset. This provides a robust evaluation beyond traditional fidelity scores.
Key Insights into Preference Learning
The study demonstrates that ILASP can effectively approximate Neural Networks in preference learning, yielding high-fidelity explanations. The use of weak constraints in ASP programs naturally reflects the nuanced trade-offs and priorities in user preferences, making the explanations highly interpretable.
Our findings highlight that indirect PCA improves ground-truth scores and produces more complex, yet accurate theories. Direct PCA, while offering greater execution time reduction, tends to yield simpler theories with slightly lower ground-truth alignment, suggesting a trade-off between computational efficiency and explanatory depth.
Local approximations achieve significantly higher fidelity and recall compared to global approximations, providing more precise explanations for individual preference queries. This confirms the adaptability of our framework to different explanatory needs within enterprise AI.
Scalability and Efficiency Gains
A critical challenge in applying ILASP to complex models is computational time. Our integration of PCA addresses this directly. Indirect PCA significantly reduces execution time by focusing ILASP on the most salient features, preserving important variance.
Direct PCA offers even more dramatic reductions in execution time, transforming exponential growth into an approximately linear scaling. This makes the methodology viable for larger datasets and higher-dimensional feature spaces, extending its practical applicability in enterprise settings.
These efficiency gains are achieved while maintaining strong fidelity to the black-box model and interpretability of the generated theories, demonstrating that our PCA-based preprocessing is a robust solution to the scalability concerns of ILP-based XAI.
