ProToMEx: Rapid, Interpretable Explanations via Structured Representations

ProToMEx is a new explainability framework that uses Probabilistic Topic Models to learn latent topics representing high‑level reasons behind a classifier’s decisions, moving beyond simple feature attribution. It provides both global and local explanations, revealing multiple co‑existing reasons for individual predictions. Empirical results show that ProToMEx achieves comparable fidelity to SHAP and LIME while being 30–40× faster on standard tabular and synthetic datasets.

ReFIne: A Framework for Trustworthy Large Reasoning Models with Reliability, Faithfulness, and Interpretability

ReFIne is a training framework that augments large reasoning models with three trustworthiness properties: interpretability, faithfulness, and reliability. It combines supervised fine‑tuning with GRPO to produce structured, tag‑based reasoning traces, explicitly disclose decisive information, and provide self‑assessments of soundness and confidence. Applied to Qwen3 models, ReFIne improves interpretability by 44.0 %, faithfulness by 18.8 %, and reliability by 42.4 % on mathematical benchmarks.
