INSIGHTS: Demonstration-Based Summaries of Time Series Predictors
The paper introduces INSIGHTS, a model-agnostic approach for providing global explanations of time series models. It emphasizes simplicity, efficiency, and transparency, allowing stakeholders to easily understand model behavior. The evaluation shows that INSIGHTS effectively generates informative summaries that enhance users' comprehension of time series data.
- ▪INSIGHTS focuses on global explanations rather than local, instance-level attributions.
- ▪The approach generates sample summaries that provide a comprehensive overview of model behavior.
- ▪User studies indicate that INSIGHTS-based summaries improve understanding of the model's overall behavior.

We introduce INSIGHTS, a model-agnostic, user-centric approach for providing global explanations of time series models.
