WOMBAT: Whitebox Oracle for Molecular Benchmarking and Attribution Testing
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →WOMBAT is a benchmark comprising 14 whitebox graph neural networks (GNNs) whose message‑passing weights are manually set to detect specific SMARTS motifs. Each model’s decision rule is explicitly known, providing a ground truth for attribution that allows researchers to identify and study errors in post‑hoc explainers such as GNNExplainer, PGExplainer, and Integrated Gradients. The authors validate the models on millions of PubChem molecules, demonstrate how Integrated Gradients can be misled to spread attribution, and release the dataset, models, and evaluation code for future XAI tool development.
