We perform a comprehensive examination of the recently proposed anchor method for topic model inference using topic interpretability and held-out likelihood measures. After measuring the sensitivity to the anchor selection process, we incorporate L2 and Beta regularization into the optimization objective in the recovery step. Preliminary results show that L2 improves heldout likelihood, and Bet...

In this paper we prove theorems on the interpretability of the first-order temporal logics LTL and TL into Fork Algebras. This result is part of a research project on the interpretability of logics in Fork Algebras, and has important applications towards the relational specification of properties of systems within the Argentum tool.

Despite a growing body of research focused on creating interpretable machine learning methods, there have been few empirical studies verifying whether interpretable methods achieve their intended effects on end users. We present a framework for assessing the effects of model interpretability on users via pre-registered experiments in which participants are shown functionally identical models th...

This paper is the first in a series of three related papers on modal methods in interpretability logics and applications. In this first paper the fundaments are laid for later results. These fundaments consist of a thorough treatment of a construction method to obtain modal models. This construction method is used to reprove some known results in the area of interpretability like the modal comp...

This paper investigates the question of the interpretability of fuzzy linguistic summaries, both at the sentence level and at the summary level, seen as a set of sentences. The individual sentence interpretability is examined as depending both on its representativity measured by a quality degree and on its linguistic expression. Different properties at the summary level are also discussed, name...

Analysis of covariance serves two main purposes in the analysis of clinical trials. It provides for a more powerful statistical test through variance reduction for comparison of treatment groups; and it addresses comparisons between randomized groups with adjustment for random imbalance of covariates. Certain methods of covariance analysis such as logistic regression for ordinal response data a...
