Operational Definition
The process of transforming abstract concepts into measurable, executable concrete procedures. In faithfulness evaluation, it specifies how to concretely measure the degree to which an explanation reflects model behavior.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The paper argues that differences among operationalizations reflect the space of choices left open by the general requirement, not disciplinary confusion.
Defending a particular operationalization requires appeal to explanatory, institutional, and normative considerations, not merely technical argument.
Specific contexts (such as institutional requirements, regulatory frameworks, and stakeholder expectations) can effectively narrow the range of operationalization choices, providing additional constraints for faithfulness evaluation.
The paper notes that the literature should expect multiple operationalizations to coexist rather than pursuing a single "correct" metric.
The direction of bias changes with the auditing format, indicating that bias is highly dependent on the tool's operationalization rather than being an intrinsic property of the model.
