Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and especially Machine Learning (ML) models are ubiquitous in research, business and society. However, the predictions of many ML models are often not transparent for users due to their black box nature.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and especially Machine Learning (ML) models are ubiquitous in research, business and society. However, the predictions of many ML models are often not transparent for users due to their black box nature. Therefore, several Explainable AI (XAI) methods aiming to provide local explanations for individual ML model predictions have been proposed. Importantly, existing XAI methods relying on surrogate models still have critical weaknesses regarding fidelity, robustness and sensitivity. Thus, we propose a novel method that avoids building surrogate models but instead represents the actual decision boundaries and class subspaces of ML models in a functional and definite manner. Further, we introduce two well-founded measures for the sensitivity of individual data instances regarding changes of their features values. We theoretically and empirically evaluate the fidelity and robustness of our method (on three real-world datasets) outperforming existing methods and demonstrate the validity and meaningfulness of our sensitivity measures.
