XAI techniques have been proposed as tools to "debug" machine learning models by revealing what they have learned.

Challenging this narrative, we find that XAI attributions are strongly dominated by salient features independent of the role of these features for a model.

Thank you for the great work @willenjoy.bsky.social ! An important step towards understanding and correcting bias in source localizations and functional connectivity due to source leakage.

After having pointed out severe shortcomings of existing XAI paradigms and feature attribution methods in the past, I am happy to announce two novel methodological contributions, to be presented in this year's main track of the premier ML conference, NeurIPS.

Very useful software not only for neuroscientists provided by @tsbinns.com . Bispectral analyses allow robust determination of transmission delays, phase-amplitude coupling and quantification of non-sinusoidality of oscillations. See also our methods preprints:

Happy to share our perspective preprint on the state of explainable AI. XAI needs to shift from algorithm- to problem-driven development to make sure methods can serve meaningful purposes. We are looking forward to discuss, here or on alphaxiv.org/abs/2409.14590 .
