Towards robustness of post hoc Explainable AI methods
| Title | Towards robustness of post hoc Explainable AI methods |
|---|---|
| Summary | [[OneLineSummary::Post Hoc explanation methods like LIME [1] and SHAP [2], due to their internal perturbation mechanisms, are shown to be susceptible to adversarial attacks [3, 4]. This means that, for example, a biased method can be altered maliciously in a way to fool explanation methods so that it appears as unbiased [5]. Furthermore, there are methods for fooling Partial Dependence Plot (PDP)[6] and Gradient-Based approaches7], which propose attacks according to each method's weaknesses [8, 9]. Almost every industrial sector leans towards adopting AI. However, there is a barrier of trust to AI which can be alleviated by Explainable AI; therefore it is of immense importance to make XAI methods robust to adversarial attacks. This project aims at exploring and equipping a chosen Post hoc XAI method with a mechanism to make them robust to adversarial attacks [10].]] |
