An Explainable Diffusion Model couples a denoising diffusion probabilistic model with post-hoc or intrinsic explainability techniques — such as SHAP, gradient-based saliency, attention analysis, or concept-based probing — so that each generative or predictive decision can be audited and justified rather than treated as a black box.
