Interpretable and Explainable Surrogate Modeling for Simulations: A State-of-the-Art Survey and Perspectives on Explainable AI for Decision-Making
arXiv:2604.14240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The simulation of complex systems increasingly relies on sophisticated but fundamentally opaque computational black-box simulators. Surrogate models play a central role in reducing the computational cost of complex systems simulations across a wide range of scientific and engineering domains. Notwithstanding, they inevitably inherit and often exacerbate this black-box nature, obscuring how input variables drive physical responses. Conversely, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) offers powerful tools to unpack these models. Yet, XAI methods struggle with […]
