arXiv:2607. 21573v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Faithful explanations of time-series classifiers should identify subsequences that are not only sufficient to preserve a black-box model's prediction, but also necessary for maintaining it.
arXiv:2607. 28124v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As forecasts increasingly drive decisions in fields such as energy, transportation, and healthcare, understanding the historical data behind these predictions has become as crucial as the predictions themselves.
NVExplain is a model‑agnostic framework that explains time‑series forecasting by attributing each forecast horizon to temporally relevant historical lags. It models forecasting as a latent trajectory, introduces semantic flow to track information evolution, and aggregates this into a lag‑horizon attribution matrix. The method also generates structure‑preserving perturbations and fits sparse local surrogates to produce human‑readable, temporally coherent explanations, and demonstrates competitive faithfulness and stability across benchmark datasets.

The paper introduces XACT, a framework that learns sparse attribution masks over coefficients from any invertible time‑frequency transform, such as STFT, continuous wavelet transform, and discrete wavelet transform. XACT extends the virtual inspection layer approach to wavelet transforms, enabling Layer‑wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) to generate explanations in these representations. Experiments on synthetic and two real‑world datasets show that XACT produces precise, sparse, and structured explanations, often outperforming baseline methods in highlighting relevant features.
