A Tale of Evidence and Explanations

Abstract
I would present a brief overview of the state of research in explainability and its evaluation (or lack thereof). Then, I would offer a new lens into explanations, viewing them as a communication channel between a teacher and a student. This view enables us to quantitatively evaluate different attribution methods in a principled way at scale. Shifting gears, in the second part of the talk, I would introduce new techniques to supplement predictions with evidence to enable stakeholders to verify the outcomes readily.
