SHAP Score

SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) scores are a method in explainable AI used to attribute the importance of individual features in a machine learning model's prediction. Current research focuses on improving the computational efficiency of SHAP, particularly for complex models like neural networks and time series models, and addressing issues of misleading attributions by refining the underlying characteristic functions and exploring alternative axiomatic aggregations. This work is significant because accurate and efficient feature attribution is crucial for building trust in machine learning models and enabling their responsible use across diverse applications, from healthcare to criminal justice.
