Title: Machine learning model explanation apparatus and methods

Abstract

Explanation apparatus and methods are described. In one aspect, an explanation apparatus includes processing circuity configured to access a source instance which has been classified by a machine learning model; create associations of the source instance with a plurality of training instances; and process the associations of the source instance and the training instances to identify a first subset of the training instances which have less relevance to the classification decision of the source instance by the machine learning model compared with a second subset of the training instances; and an interface configured to communicate information to a user, and wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control the user interface to communicate the second subset of the training instances to the user as evidence to explain the classification of the source instance by the machine learning model.
