Contextual Local Explanation for Black Box Classifiers (1910.00768v1)

Abstract: We introduce a new model-agnostic explanation technique which explains the prediction of any classifier called CLE. CLE gives an faithful and interpretable explanation to the prediction, by approximating the model locally using an interpretable model. We demonstrate the flexibility of CLE by explaining different models for text, tabular and image classification, and the fidelity of it by doing simulated user experiments.
