Scalable Explainability-as-a-Service (XaaS) for Edge AI Systems

Joyjit Roy, Samaresh Kumar Singh

XaaS decouples explanation generation from inference so edge devices can cache and reuse explanations, cutting latency by 38 percent while keeping quality high.

✓ Portable graph bundle live · download bundle · merged state

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

XaaS reduces latency by 38% while maintaining high explanation quality across three real-world edge-AI deployments.

C2weakest assumption

That semantic similarity reliably identifies reusable explanations without significant loss of fidelity across heterogeneous devices and tasks.

C3one line summary

XaaS decouples explanation generation from model inference via a distributed cache, verification protocol, and adaptive engine, achieving 38% lower latency in three edge-AI use cases.
