Ethical Statement

: In critical contexts, where persons are directly or indirectly impacted by a model, and where explanations are used to verify that model behavior is compliant with a given standard, proper use of explanation methods is of utmost importance. Hyperparameter choices have to be validated for each model individually. For model testing and validation procedures to be reliable they have to integrate this knowledge. Our work demonstrated that it is unreasonable to expect an explanation computed for one model, to be valid for another model, however similar their performance otherwise may be. Re-using explanations from one model to give as an explanation of behavior for another model is not possible and has to be avoided in critical scenarios.
