This study aims to enhance the explainability of DL models through visual analytics (VA) and human-in-the-loop (HITL) principles, making these systems more transparent and understandable to end users. In this work, we propose a novel approach that utilizes a transition matrix to interpret results from DL models through more comprehensible machine learning (ML) models. The methodology involves constructing a transition matrix between the feature spaces of DL and ML models as formal and mental models, respectively, improving the explainability for classification tasks. We validated our approach with computational experiments on the MNIST, FNC-1, and Iris datasets using a qualitative and quantitative comparison criterion, that is, how different the results obtained by our approach are from the ground truth of the training and testing samples. The proposed approach significantly enhanced model clarity and understanding in the MNIST dataset, with SSIM and PSNR values of 0.697 and 17.94, respectively, showcasing high-fidelity reconstructions. Moreover, achieving an F1m score of 77.76% and a weighted accuracy of 89.38%, our approach proved its effectiveness in stance detection with the FNC-1 dataset, complemented by its ability to explain key textual nuances. For the Iris dataset, the separating hyperplane constructed based on the proposed approach allowed for enhancing classification accuracy. Overall, using VA, HITL principles, and a transition matrix, our approach significantly improves the explainability of DL models without compromising their performance, marking a step forward in developing more transparent and trustworthy AI systems.","url_abs":"https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7390/12/7/1024","url_pdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7390/12/7/1024/pdf?version=1711704703","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":"explainable-deep-learning-a-visual-analytics","repo_url":"https://github.com/radiukpavlo/transition-matrix-dl","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-learning","task_name":"Deep Learning"},{"task_slug":"xai","task_name":"Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)"},{"task_slug":"image-generation","task_name":"Image Generation"},{"task_slug":"interpretability-techniques-for-deep-learning","task_name":"Interpretability Techniques for Deep Learning"},{"task_slug":"interpretable-machine-learning","task_name":"Interpretable Machine Learning"},{"task_slug":"ssim","task_name":"SSIM"},{"task_slug":"stance-detection","task_name":"Stance Detection"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"adam","method_name":"Adam"},{"method_slug":"attention-dropout","method_name":"Attention Dropout"},{"method_slug":"bert","method_name":"BERT"},{"method_slug":"convolution","method_name":"Convolution"},{"method_slug":"dcnn","method_name":"DCNN"},{"method_slug":"dropout","method_name":"Dropout"},{"method_slug":"label-smoothing","method_name":"Label Smoothing"},{"method_slug":"layer-normalization","method_name":"Layer Normalization"},{"method_slug":"linear-layer","method_name":"Linear Layer"},{"method_slug":"linear-warmup-with-linear-decay","method_name":"Linear Warmup With Linear Decay"},{"method_slug":"multi-head-attention","method_name":"Multi-Head Attention"},{"method_slug":"position-wise-feed-forward-layer","method_name":"Position-Wise Feed-Forward Layer"},{"method_slug":"roberta","method_name":"RoBERTa"},{"method_slug":"softmax","method_name":"Softmax"},{"method_slug":"transformer","method_name":"Transformer"},{"method_slug":"visual-analytics","method_name":"Visual Analytics"},{"method_slug":"weight-decay","method_name":"Weight Decay"},{"method_slug":"wordpiece","method_name":"WordPiece"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/image-generation-on-mnist","task":"Image Generation","dataset":"MNIST","model":"Transition Matrix","rank_in_archive_order":15,"of":15,"metrics":{"PSNR":"17.94","SSIM":"0.697"},"uses_additional_data":false},{"leaderboard":"/sota/stance-detection-on-fnc-1","task":"Stance Detection","dataset":"FNC-1","model":"Transition Matrix","rank_in_archive_order":2,"of":2,"metrics":{"F1":"77.76"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
