Riassunto
This thesis is based on the validation of novel methods for explaining Link Prediction tasks performed by GNNs (Graph Neural Networks), thus falling within the field of XAI and intersecting with graph theory.
Starting from existing state-of-the-art Explainers for GNNs, we use community detection methods for graphs to evaluate the goodness of subgraph-based explanations.
In particular, we evaluate whether community structure is an element that has been used not explicitly, but as a latent variable for the importance of that prediction.
