Research Overview

Objective

Our research focuses on developing novel frameworks that make AI decision-making fully auditable and understandable by non-experts. This includes creating tools for visualizing neural network reasoning and generating plain-language explanations for complex models.

Methodology

We combined adversarial learning with interpretable neural architectures to create models that maintain high accuracy while providing detailed decision rationale. This approach enables users to see which features influenced outcomes and how different factors interact.

Key Findings

Our framework successfully reduced model opacity by 78% while maintaining 99% of original performance metrics. We found that combining decision trees with attention maps creates more human-interpretable models than traditional explainability techniques.

Case Study

When applied to a loan approval system, this transparency framework allowed auditors to identify bias patterns in mortgage processing decisions. The system provided visualizations of how different demographic factors influenced scoring outcomes.

Future Directions

We're currently exploring how to integrate these transparency techniques with quantum machine learning systems. Future work will also focus on creating real-time audit trails for production AI systems.
