TRIPROBE: Probing Task Separability Beyond Classification for XAI

Modern evaluation of learning pipelines often reduces to downstream accuracy, leaving open the question of why tasks succeed or fail.

Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — arXiv

It ranks mainly on source trust: arXiv is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.

Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened

Modern evaluation of learning pipelines often reduces to downstream accuracy, leaving open the question of why tasks succeed or fail. TriProbe addresses this gap with a multi-level probing framework for explainable diagnosis of task separability. Rather than treating models as black boxes, TriProbe traces how separability evolves across inputs, learned features, and final classifiers. It decomposes multi-task problems into binary subtasks and applies three complementary probes: a Foundational Probe on input spaces, a Latent Probe on feature representations, and a Final Probe on classifier outputs. Using Maximum Fisher's Discriminant Ratio as a principled separability metric, TriProbe identifies bottlenecks and affected task pairs.
