Not on the map. Why?

Abstract (arXiv)

The availability of easy-to-use and reliable software implementations is important for allowing researchers in academia and industry to test, assess and take into use eXplainable AI (XAI) methods. This paper describes the textttpy-ciu Python implementation of the Contextual Importance and Utility (CIU) model-agnostic, post-hoc explanation method and illustrates capabilities of CIU that go beyond the current state-of-the-art that could be useful for XAI practitioners in general.
