New research tackles Shapley value estimation challenges in ML · 2 papers

Two new research papers published on arXiv propose novel methods for estimating Shapley values, a key technique in machine learning for feature attribution. The first paper introduces FUSHAP, designed to handle multi-site studies with missing data by leveraging auxiliary sites to reduce variance without imputation. The second paper presents a semiparametric inference method for conditional Shapley values, offering uncertainty quantification and addressing feature dependency issues. Both methods demonstrate improved accuracy and bias reduction compared to existing approaches in synthetic and real-world datasets. AI

IMPACT These advancements in Shapley value estimation could lead to more reliable and interpretable machine learning models, particularly in complex, multi-site, or dependent feature scenarios.

    Shapley Value Estimation for Multi-Site Data with Blockwise-Missing Features

    arXiv:2609.14902v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Shapley value (SV)-based methods are the prevailing framework for feature attribution in machine learning, yet existing population-level Shapley estimators generally assume that observations used to evaluate the coalitional game a…

    Semiparametric Inference for Conditional Shapley Feature Importance

    arXiv:2609.10313v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Shapley values are widely used for post-hoc feature attribution, but most estimators return point quantities and do not quantify uncertainty, and popular implementations sample out-of-coalition features from their marginal distrib…
