"Trust Junk" Leads to Unjustified Support for Highly Discriminatory Predictive Models

arXiv:2607. 14152v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The persuasive power of data visualizations can go awry: for instance, in an explainable AI (XAI) context, visualizations can produce over-trust of predictive models.

Chart Deception in Vision-Language Models: From Vulnerability to Mitigation

arXiv:2607. 22600v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information visualizations are widely used to communicate patterns, trends, and outliers, yet deceptive design choices-such as truncated or inverted axes, distorted aspect ratios, inappropriate encodings, and misleading color mappings-can systematically alter interpretation while preserving the underlying data.

Navigating the Mirage: A Dual-Path Agentic Framework for Robust Misleading Chart Question Answering

arXiv:2603. 28583v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite the success of Vision-Language Models (VLMs), misleading charts remain a significant challenge due to their deceptive visual structures and distorted data representations.

Towards a Unified Multidimensional Explainability Metric: Evaluating Trustworthiness in AI Models

arXiv:2607. 14315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for assessing the explainability of various XAI methods, such as LIME and SHAP, across multiple datasets and machine learning models, with the ultimate goal of creating a unified multidimensional explainability score.
