xMIL: Insightful Explanations for Multiple Instance Learning in Histopathology

NeurIPS 2024poster

Multiple instance learning (MIL) is an effective and widely used approach for weakly supervised machine learning. In histopathology, MIL models have achieved remarkable success in tasks like tumor detection, biomarker prediction, and outcome prognostication. However, MIL explanation methods are stil…

Relevant Walk Search for Explaining Graph Neural Networks

ICML 2023poster

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become important machine learning tools for graph analysis, and its explainability is crucial for safety, fairness, and robustness. Layer-wise relevance propagation for GNNs (GNN-LRP) evaluates the relevance of walks to reveal important information flows in the netw…

Efficient Computation of Higher-Order Subgraph Attribution via Message Passing

ICML 2022spotlight

Explaining graph neural networks (GNNs) has become more and more important recently. Higher-order interpretation schemes, such as GNN-LRP (layer-wise relevance propagation for GNN), emerged as powerful tools for unraveling how different features interact thereby contributing to explaining GNNs. GNN-…

XAI for Transformers: Better Explanations through Conservative Propagation

ICML 2022spotlight

Transformers have become an important workhorse of machine learning, with numerous applications. This necessitates the development of reliable methods for increasing their transparency. Multiple interpretability methods, often based on gradient information, have been proposed. We show that the gradi…
