Towards Attributions of Input Variables in a Coalition

Xinhao Zheng, Huiqi Deng, Bo Fan, Quanshi Zhang

This paper aims to develop a new attribution method to explain the conflict between individual variables' attributions and their coalition's attribution from a fully new perspective. First, we find that the Shapley value can be reformulated as the allocation of Harsanyi interactions encoded by the AI model. Second, based the re-alloction of interactions, we extend the Shapley value to the attribution of coalitions. Third we ective. We derive the fundamental mechanism behind the conflict. This conflict come from the interaction containing partial variables in their coalition.
