Provenance-Enabled Explainable AI
Summary: PXAI decouples XAI from ML models via a provenance graph that tracks data creation and transformation throughout the model. Prunes irrelevant variables and computations to accelerate explanations; case studies show efficiency gains for complex models. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
