On Robustness of the Explanatory Power of Machine Learning Models: Insights From a New Explainable AI Approach Using Sensitivity Analysis by Banamali Panigrahi, Saman Razavi, Lorne E. Doig, Blanchard Cordell, Hoshin V. Gupta, Karsten Liber

“…Unlike many methods for explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), this method (a) accounts for complex multi‐variate distributional properties of data, common in environmental systems, (b) offers a global assessment of the input‐output response surface formed by ML, rather than focusing solely on local regions around existing data points, and (c) is scalable and data‐size independent, ensuring computational efficiency with large data sets. We apply this method to a suite of ML models predicting various water quality variables in a pilot‐scale experimental pit lake. …”

A Fractional Time–Space Stochastic Advection–Diffusion Equation for Modeling Atmospheric Moisture Transport at Ocean–Atmosphere Interfaces by Behrouz Parsa Moghaddam, Mahmoud A. Zaky, António Mendes Lopes, Alexandra Galhano

“…The framework employs the Caputo fractional derivative to represent temporal persistence and the fractional Laplacian to model non-local turbulent diffusion, and incorporates a stochastic term with a <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>/</mo><mi>f</mi></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> power spectral density to simulate environmental variability. An efficient numerical solution methodology is derived utilizing complementary Fourier and Laplace transforms, which elegantly converts spatial fractional operators into algebraic expressions and yields closed-form solutions via Mittag–Leffler functions. …”
