  text: 'While the importance of explainable artificial intelligence in high-stakes
    decision-making is widely recognized in existing literature, empirical studies
    assessing users'' perceived value of explanations are scarce. In this paper, we
    aim to address this shortcoming by conducting an empirical study focused on measuring
    the perceived value of the following types of explanations: plain explanations
    based on feature attribution, counterfactual explanations and complex counterfactual
    explanations. We measure an explanation''s value using five dimensions: perceived
    accuracy, understandability, plausibility, sufficiency of detail, and user satisfaction.
    Our findings indicate a sweet spot of explanation complexity, with both dimensional
    and structural complexity positively impacting the perceived value up to a certain
    threshold.'
