When Are Concept Bottleneck Model Explanations Faithful and Compact?

Concept bottleneck models (CBMs) are neural classifiers that allow to explain their decisions via high-level concepts, potentially enabling understanding, steering and debugging. However, their explanations are often derived heuristically. Building on formal explainability, we argue they should also be faithful, i.e.,...

Beyond Trained Models: Compiling GNNs for a Sound Explainer Benchmark

Explainers for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are commonly evaluated by their plausibility, i.e., how well their explanations recover a predefined ground truth, such as a motif planted in the data. This protocol implicitly assumes that a GNN trained on such data relies on the intended motif. Although prior work has quest...

Overcoming Shortcut Learning in Graph Neural Networks through Active Explanation Guidance

This work introduces XIGL, an architecture-agnostic human-in-the-loop strategy for removing shortcuts from GNNs, and develops an active learning strategy for prioritizing explanations that are more likely to display shortcut behavior, lowering annotation and cognitive costs.
