深度图学习模型在处理图结构数据方面表现出色,但其复杂架构和缺乏透明性使决策过程难以解释,导致用户难以理解和信任。本文提出一种基于深度图生成的模型级反事实解释方法GCFX,旨在全面揭示模型的整体决策机制。GCFX采用增强的深度图生成框架与全局摘要算法,生成反映模型全局预测行为的高质量反事实解释。其架构包含双编码器、结构感知标记器和消息传递神经网络解码器,能准确学习输入数据的真实潜在分布,并生成高度相关的反事实样本。随后,全局反事实摘要算法从大量候选解释中筛选最具代表性和全面性的结果,揭示模型的全局预测模式。在合成数据集和多个真实世界数据集上的实验表明,GCFX在反事实有效性与覆盖率方面优于现有方法,同时保持较低的解释成本,为提升全局反事实解释的实用性与可信度提供关键支持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep graph learning models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in processing graph-structured data and have been widely applied across various fields. However, their complex internal architectures and lack of transparency make it difficult to explain their decisions, resulting in opaque models that users find hard to understand and trust. In this paper, we explore model-level explanation techniques for deep graph learning models, aiming to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the models' overall decision-making processes and underlying mechanisms. Specifically, we address the problem of counterfactual explanations for deep graph learning models by introducing a generative model-level counterfactual explanation approach called GCFX, which is based on deep graph generation. This approach generates a set of high-quality counterfactual explanations that reflect the model's global predictive behavior by leveraging an enhanced deep graph generation framework and a global summarization algorithm. GCFX features an architecture that combines dual encoders, structure-aware taggers, and Message Passing Neural Network decoders, enabling it to accurately learn the true latent distribution of input data and generate high-quality, closely related counterfactual examples. Subsequently, a global counterfactual summarization algorithm selects the most representative and comprehensive explanations from numerous candidate counterfactuals, providing broad insights into the model's global predictive patterns. Experiments on a synthetic dataset and several real-world datasets demonstrate that GCFX outperforms existing methods in terms of counterfactual validity and coverage while maintaining low explanation costs, thereby offering crucial support for enhancing the practicality and trustworthiness of global counterfactual explanations.
