New method quantifies robustness of Shapley values in tree-based models

Researchers have developed a new method using an imprecise Dirichlet model (IDM) to analyze the robustness of Shapley values in decision trees and random forests. This approach quantifies and examines interval-valued Shapley values when unannotated instances are introduced into tree leaves. The method allows for the computation of these interval-valued Shapley values based on pessimistic and averaging principles, and can be extended to Banzhaf values. Experiments demonstrate the behavior of these interval-valued Shapley values and their utility in debiasing uninformative features. AI

IMPACT Enhances understanding of feature attribution robustness in common machine learning models.

    Interval-valued SHAP in Tree-Based Models

    arXiv:2610.11953v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Shapley values are among the most popular feature-attribution explanations. Efficient approaches for computing/estimating Shapley values for tree-based models, which are state-of-the-art for tabular data sets, have been developed. H…
