Abstract

In this paper we study everyday explanations for classification tasks with formal argumentation. Everyday explanations describe how humans explain in day-to-day life, which is important when explaining decisions of AI systems to lay users. We introduce EVAX, a model-agnostic explanation method for classifiers with which contrastive, selected and social explanations can be generated. The resulting explanations can be adjusted in their size and retain high fidelity scores (an average of 0.95)
