  Abstract of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctorate of Philosophy EXPLAINING THE BOX: A GLIMPSE INSIDE DECISIONS OF MODERN AI By Minh Nhat Vu September 2023 Chair: My T. Thai Major: Computer and Information Science and Engineering Recent years have observed a swift adoption of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) models in real-world applications, especially those in critical and sensitive domains. It has become increasingly important to explain the predictions generated by those complex models. This dissertation is to present heuristic and theoretical findings centering around that emerging problem: ·          Developing a metric and algorithm to evaluate local explanations. While many explanation methods for deep learning models have been introduced, evaluating them remains challenging. In response, we propose the c-Eval metric and its corresponding framework to qu
