TimeREISE: Time-series Randomized Evolving Input Sample Explanation

Deep neural networks are one of the most successful classifiers across different domains. However, due to their limitations concerning interpretability their use is limited in safety critical context. The research field of explainable artificial intelligence addresses this problem. However, most of the interpretability methods are aligned to the image modality by design. The paper introduces TimeREISE a model agnostic attribution method specifically aligned to success in the context of time series classification. The method shows superior performance compared to existing approaches concerning different well-established measurements. TimeREISE is applicable to any time series classification network, its runtime does not scale in a linear manner concerning the input shape and it does not rely on prior data knowledge.
