Stable Explanation

Stable explanation in machine learning focuses on developing methods that produce consistent and reliable explanations for model predictions, even when faced with variations in model training, input perturbations, or dataset shifts. Current research emphasizes improving the robustness of explanations generated by various models, including large language models and vision transformers, often employing techniques like randomized smoothing and adversarial training to enhance stability. This pursuit of stable explanations is crucial for building trust in AI systems, particularly in high-stakes applications where understanding and verifying model decisions is paramount, and for ensuring the fairness and accountability of algorithmic outcomes.
