Learning Fuzzy Relations and Properties for Explainable Artificial Intelligence

International audienceThe goal of explainable artificial intelligence is to solve problems in a way that humans can understand how it does it. However, few approaches have been proposed so far and some of them lay more emphasis on interpretabil-ity than on explainability. In this paper, we propose an approach that is based on learning fuzzy relations and fuzzy properties. We extract frequent relations from a dataset to generate an explained decision. Our approach can deal with different problems, such as classification or annotation. A model was built to perform explained classification on a toy dataset that we generated. It managed to correctly classify examples while providing convincing explanations. A few areas for improvement have been spotted, such as the need to filter relations and properties before or while learning them in order to avoid useless computations
