We propose audioLIME, a method based on Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) extended by a musical definition of locality. The perturbations used in LIME are created by switching on/off components extracted by source separation which makes our explanations listenable. We validate audioLIME on two different music tagging systems and show that it produces sensible explanations in situations where a competing method cannot.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.00582v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.00582v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"audiolime-listenable-explanations-using","repo_url":"https://github.com/CPJKU/audioLIME","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok"}},{"paper_slug":"audiolime-listenable-explanations-using","repo_url":"https://github.com/expectopatronum/mml2020-experiments","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"information-retrieval","task_name":"Information Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"music-information-retrieval","task_name":"Music Information Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"music-tagging","task_name":"Music Tagging"},{"task_slug":"retrieval","task_name":"Retrieval"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"lime","method_name":"LIME"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2008.00582","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
