- Computational Game Theory
Background
- Large neural network models like AlphaZero achieve state-of-the-art performance in computer chess.
- Challenges include explaining the internal knowledge of these models and their lack of open availability.
- Existing explainable AI (XAI) methods may not provide exhaustive or exclusive information guarantees.
Purpose Of The Study
- To re-implement the concept detection methodology applied to AlphaZero using open-source chess models.
- To develop a novel XAI method for explaining AI models in discrete input spaces.
- To provide strict guarantees on the information used by AI models during inference.
Main Methods
- Re-implementation of a concept detection methodology on large, open-source chess models with comparable performance to AlphaZero.
- Development of a novel XAI method that controls information flow between input and model.
- Application and demonstration of the XAI method on standard chess using open-source models.
Main Results
- Achieved results comparable to those obtained when applying the methodology to AlphaZero, using only open-source resources.
- The novel XAI method generates visual explanations guaranteed to highlight exhaustively and exclusively the information used by the model.
- Demonstrated the viability of the XAI method for explaining AI models in discrete input domains like chess.
Conclusions
- The re-implementation validates the concept detection methodology using accessible, open-source chess AI.
- The novel XAI method offers a robust approach to understanding AI decision-making in discrete domains.
- This work contributes to more transparent and explainable AI in complex strategic games.

Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...
