Interval-valued SHAP in Tree-Based Models

In this paper, we propose an imprecise Dirichlet model (IDM) based method to analyze the robustness of Shapley values in decision trees and random forests.

Key points

  • 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.
  • Technically, it is done by quantifying and analyzing the interval-valued Shapley values when a few unannotated instances are randomly introduced to the leaves of the trees.
  • We then present various case studies and experiments to illustrate the behaviour of the proposed interval-valued Shapley values and their applications in debiasing uninformative features.
