Instance-level explanations aim to reveal the rationale behind a model's decisions for a specific graph. Previous methods explain graph neural networks (GNNs) by selecting important edges to induce subgraphs, where edge importance is assessed by perturbing each edge and observing changes in the model predictions.
Graph eXplainable AI (G-XAI) is increasingly important for making Graph Neural Networks interpretable and accountable. While a growing number of explainers are available, choosing the right method and assessing the trustworthiness of its outputs remains unclear.
arXiv:2608. 16038v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-hoc Graph Neural Network (GNN) explainers commonly follow a Perturb-Query paradigm, inferring the importance of graph elements based on queried predictions to perturbed inputs.

arXiv:2605. 07527v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent work has observed that explanations produced by Self-Interpretable Graph Neural Networks (SI-GNNs) can be self-inconsistent: when the model is reapplied to its own explanatory graph subset, it may produce a different explanation.

arXiv:2608. 14121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) can solve prediction tasks by unintentionally exploiting shortcuts---that is, edges, nodes, and features that correlate with but are not causal for the prediction---which compromise their reliability in out-of-distribution tasks.

arXiv:2608. 12083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) achieve strong predictive performance on graph-structured data across domains such as chemistry, biology, and network analysis, yet they provide no intrinsic explanation of their predictions.
