XElemNet: A Machine Learning Framework that Applies a Suite of Explainable AI (XAI) for Deep Neural Networks in Materials Science

XElemNet is an advanced machine learning framework developed by Northwestern University researchers to enhance transparency in deep neural networks used in materials science. Leveraging explainable AI (XAI) techniques, such as layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP) and decision trees as surrogate models, XElemNet aims to reveal the logic behind AI predictions for material properties. This two-fold approach enhances both predictive accuracy and trustworthiness, addressing key challenges in interpretability. By making model predictions more understandable, XElemNet paves the way for more reliable AI-driven material discovery and optimization.
