CIExplainer++: Generating Causal and Interpretable Explanations for Graph Neural Networks

arXiv:2606.20747v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Explainable Artificial Intelligence aims to make black-box models more trustworthy by presenting, in a human-understandable manner, the elements that lead to the model's output. This involves both (i) identifying components and connections with genuine causal influence on outputs and (ii) translating such structures into an interpretable representation. For the former, we introduce CIExplainer, a novel perturbation-based method grounded in causal i
