ReX: A Framework for Generating Local Explanations to Recurrent Neural Networks
share
We propose a general framework to adapt various local explanation techniques to recurrent neural networks. In particular, our explanations add temporal information, which expand explanations generated from existing techniques to cover data points that have different lengths compared to the original input data point. Our approach is general as it only modifies the perturbation model and feature representation of existing techniques without touching their core algorithms. We have instantiated our approach on LIME and Anchors. Our empirical evaluation shows that it effectively improves the usefulness of explanations generated by these two techniques on a sentiment analysis network and an anomaly detection network.
