Explainable Reinforcement Learning/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable Reinforcement Learning

Explainable Reinforcement Learning (XRL) augments standard reinforcement learning agents with methods that make their policies, decisions, and learned behaviors interpretable to humans. Rather than treating the policy as a black box, XRL produces post-hoc explanations or builds inherently transparent policies, enabling trust verification, debugging, and accountability in high-stakes automated decision-making.
