Explainable Graph Neural Network/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable Graph Neural Network

Explainable Graph Neural Networks (XAI-GNN) combine standard GNN architectures with post-hoc or intrinsic explanation techniques that reveal which nodes, edges, and node features drove a model's prediction. Pioneered by GNNExplainer (Ying et al., 2019), the field addresses the black-box critique of GNNs and is essential wherever graph-based predictions must be trusted or audited.
