arXiv:2408.01382v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Originating in game theory, Shapley values are widely used for explaining a machine learning model's prediction by quantifying the contribution of each feature's value to the prediction. This requires a scalar prediction as in binary classification, whereas a multiclass probabilistic prediction is a discrete probability distribution, living on a multidimensional simplex. In such a multiclass setting the Shapley values are typically computed separately on each class in a one-vs-rest manner, ignoring the compositional nature of the output distr
The paper acknowledges a current limitation in explaining multiclass probabilistic predictions, indicating an active area of research in AI explainability.
Improved explainability of complex AI models, especially in multiclass settings, is crucial for trust, adoption, and regulatory compliance in critical applications.
This research proposes a more accurate method for interpreting contributions of features in multiclass AI predictions, potentially leading to more reliable model insights.
