We Need Explanation Cards to Connect Explanation Algorithms to the Real World

Excerpt

arXiv:2606.16786v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Algorithmic explanations are intended to help stakeholders understand opaque algorithmic decisions, but in practice, they often fall short. First, the meaning of algorithmic explanations is often not what one might intuitively expect, so expert knowledge is required to interpret them correctly. Second, recent work has shown that popular explanation algorithms are uninformative about the behavior of complex decision functions. Together, these is
