Query: Training Characteristic Functions with Reinforcement Learning:
  XAI-methods play Connect Four   One of the goals of Explainable AI (XAI) is to determine which input
components were relevant for a classifier decision. This is commonly know as
saliency attribution. Characteristic functions (from cooperative game theory)
are able to evaluate partial inputs and form the basis for theoretically "fair"
attribution methods like Shapley values. Given only a standard classifier
function, it is unclear how partial input should be realised. Instead, most
XAI-methods for black-box classifiers like neural networks consider
counterfactual inputs that generally lie off-manifold. This makes them hard to
evaluate and easy to manipulate.
  We propose a setup to directly train characteristic functions in the form of
neural networks to play simple two-player games. We apply this to the game of
Connect Four by randomly hiding colour information from our agents during
training. This has three advantages for comparing XAI-methods: It alleviates
the ambiguity about how to realise partial input, makes off-manifold evaluation
unnecessary and allows us to compare the methods by letting them play against
each other.
