Title: Structural Compactness as a Complementary Criterion for Explanation Quality
Abstract:
arXiv:2603.29491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the evaluation of attribution quality, the quantitative assessment of explanation legibility is particularly difficult, as it is influenced by varying shapes and internal organization of attributions not captured by simple statistics. To address this issue, we introduce Minimum Spanning Tree Compactness (MST-C), a graph-based structural metric that captures higher-order geometric properties of attributions, such as spread and cohesion.
