An implementation of Explanatory Active Learning (XAL) based on Self-explainable Neural Networks.

Our preliminary experiments use the synthetic colors dataset from:

• Andrew Ross, Michael C. Hughes, Finale Doshi-Velez - Right for the right reasons: Training differentiable models by constraining their explanations

The original data can be found on the rrr repo. We used the preprocessed dataset from the caipi repo.

To run CALIMOCHO, use the main.py script. Type python main.py --help for the list of options.

To run the experiments on the colors dataset:

• Download the toy_colors.npz file from the caipi repository linked above and place it into the data directory

• Execute colors.sh in the shell

The code will save all results in the results directory in pickle format, and plot them in PNG format too.

To draw the final plots, unzip the zipped results files and run:
