During the last couple of years, we have read a lot of papers on explainability and often felt that something was fundamentally missing🤔 This led us to write a position paper (accepted at #ICML2025) that attempts to identify the problem and to propose a solution. arxiv.org/abs/2402.02870 👇🧵

How will your multi-view model perform if data is missing during deployment? Usually, this translates into a considerable decline in accuracy. However, simpler approaches in model design can make it robust to missing data. We address this in our recent paper in the Neurocomputing journal.
