Combining Sub-Symbolic and Symbolic Methods for Explainability
Similarly to other connectionist models, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) lack transparency in their decision-making. A number of sub-symbolic approaches have been developed to provide insights into the GNN decision making process. These are first important steps on the way to explainability, but the generated explanations are often hard to understand for users that are not AI experts. To overcome this problem, we introduce a conceptual approach combining sub-symbolic and symbolic methods for human-centric explanations, that incorporate domain knowledge and causality. We furthermore introduce the notion of fidelity as a metric for evaluating how close the explanation is to the GNN's internal decision making process. The evaluation with a chemical dataset and ontology shows the explanatory value and reliability of our method.

Modeling Endogenous Logic: Causal Neuro-Symbolic Reasoning Model for Explainable Multi-Behavior Recommendation
Existing multi-behavior recommendations tend to prioritize performance at the expense of explainability, while current explainable methods suffer from limited generalizability due to their reliance on external informatio…
Causal InferenceA-NeSI: A Scalable Approximate Method for Probabilistic Neurosymbolic Inference
We study the problem of combining neural networks with symbolic reasoning. Recently introduced frameworks for Probabilistic Neurosymbolic Learning (PNL), such as DeepProbLog, perform exponential-time exact inference, lim…
Explainable and Interpretable Diabetic Retinopathy Classification Based on Neural-Symbolic Learning
In this paper, we propose an explainable and interpretable diabetic retinopathy (ExplainDR) classification model based on neural-symbolic learning. To gain explainability, a highlevel symbolic representation should be co…
