This page includes technical metrics and methodologies for measuring and evaluating AI trustworthiness and AI risks. These metrics are often represented through mathematical formulas that assess the technical requirements for achieving trustworthy AI in a particular context. They can help to ensure that a system is fair, accurate, explainable, transparent, robust, safe, or secure.
Objective Transparency & explainability

The Partial Dependence Complexity metric uses the concept of Partial Dependence curve to evaluate how simple this curve can be represented. The partial dependence curve is used to show model predictions are affected on average by each feature. Curves repres...


Earth Mover’s Distance: Measure of dissimilarity between two distributions, calculated as the minimum total cost of transforming one distribution into the other.

Log odds ratio: A statistical measure used to quantify the strength of association between two events. It is the logarithm of the odds ratio.

We propose a set of interrelated metrics, all based on the notion of AI output concentration, and the related Lorenz curve/Lorenz area under the curve, able to measure the Sustainability/robustness, Accuracy, Fairness/privacy, Explainability/accountability ...


Given an input data sample, LEMNA generates a small set of interpretable features to explain how the input sample is classified. The core idea is to approximate a local area of the complex deep learning decision boundary using a simple interpretable model. ...


Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) is a method that quantifies the contribution of each feature to the output of a predictive model. Rooted in cooperative game theory, SHAP values provide a theoretically sound approach for interpreting complex models by d...


Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) is a method developed to enhance the explainability and transparency of machine learning models, particularly those that are complex and difficult to interpret. It is designed to provide clear, localize...


Ideally we would like to obtain a more complete understanding of variable importance for the set of models that predict almost equally well. This set of almost-equally-accurate predictive models is called the Rashomon set; it is the set of models with training...

Beta Shapley is a unified data valuation framework that naturally arises from Data Shapley by relaxing the efficiency axiom. The Beta(α, β)-Shapley value considers the pair of hyperparameters (α, β) which decides the weight distribution on [n]. Beta(1,1)-Shapl...

The Surrogacy Efficacy Score is a technique for gaining a better understanding of the inner workings of complex "black box" models. For example, by using a Tree-based model, this method provides a more interpretable representation of the model’s behavior by...


In statistics, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient or Spearman's ρ is a non-parametric measure of rank correlation (statistical dependence between the rankings of two variables). It assesses how well the relationship between two variables can be describ...


The α-Feature Importance metric quantifies the minimum proportion of features required to represent α of the total importance. In other words, this metric is focused in obtaining the minimum number of features necessary to obtain no less than α × 100% of th...


The PGC metric compares the top-K ranking of features importance drawn from the entire dataset with the top-K ranking induced from specific subgroups of predictions. It can be applied to both categorical and regression problems, being useful for quantifying...


Local Feature Importance refers to the assignment of feature normalized importance to different regions of the input data space. For a given dataset D with N samples, it is possible to compute a vector of feature importance for each individual observation d...


Machine learning models, at the core of AI applications,  typically achieve a high accuracy at the expense of an insufficient explainability. Moreover, according to the proposed regulations,  AI applications based on machine learning must be "trus...


Normalized Mutual Information is a metric calculated between two clusterings and is a normalization of the Mutual Information (MI) score to scale the results between 0 (no mutual information) and 1 (perfect correlation).


In statistics, the Kendall rank correlation coefficient, commonly referred to as Kendall's τ coefficient, is a statistic used to measure the ordinal association between two measured quantities. A τ test is a non-parametric hypothesis test for statistical de...


The learned perceptual image patch similarity (LPIPS) is used to judge the perceptual similarity between two images. LPIPS is computed with a model that is trained on a labeled dataset of human-judged perceptual similarity. The perception-measuring model co...


The Fréchet inception distance (FID) typically measures the quality of image generative models. More specifically, FID is a semimetric commonly applied to generative models based on generative adversarial networks (GANs), which was among the first generativ...
