Title: TOWARDS AN OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF THE TRUSTWORTHINESS OF CLASSIFIERS. Abstract: With the widespread deployment of AI models in applications that impact human lives, research on model trustworthiness has become increasingly important, as a result of which model effectiveness alone (measured, e.g., with accuracy, F1, etc.) should not be the only criteria to evaluate predictive models; additionally the trustworthiness of these models should also be factored in. It has been argued that the features deemed important by a black-box model should be aligned with the human perception of the data, which in turn, should contribute to increasing the trustworthiness of a model. Existing research in XAI evaluates such alignments with user studies - the limitations being that these studies are subjective, difficult to reproduce, and consumes a large amount of time to conduct. We propose an evaluation framework, which provides a quantitative measure for trustworthiness of a black-box model, and hence, we are able to provide a fair comparison between a number of different black-box models. Our framework is applicable to both text and images, and our experiment results show that a model with a higher accuracy does not necessarily exhibit better trustworthiness.
