New Bivariate Additive Models offer interpretable tabular prediction

Researchers have introduced Bivariate Additive Models (BAMs), a new class of interpretable models for tabular data prediction. BAMs constrain pairwise shape functions to a simple parametric form, specifically an asymmetric bivariate Gaussian, allowing for unimodal contour maps that are easier for practitioners to interpret and validate against domain knowledge. Experiments on six tabular benchmarks demonstrate that BAMs achieve predictive accuracy comparable to standard Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) and approach the performance of more complex GA$^2$Ms, while offering a trade-off between accuracy and the number of components to inspect.

    BAM: Bivariate Additive Models for Interpretable Tabular Prediction

    arXiv:2611.05940v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generalized Additive Models with pairwise interactions (GA$^2$Ms) are regarded as glass-box models, since each pairwise shape function can be visualized as a contour plot. In practice, the shape functions learned by methods such a…
