SHARC: SHAP-Based Interpretability in Machine Learning Risk Models for Regulatory Capital under ICAAP and CCAR

arXiv:2607. 05484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The adoption of non-parametric machine learning models for regulatory capital estimation introduces a fundamental governance challenge: the inability to explain model outputs in a manner auditable by supervisory bodies.

Forward-Looking Stress Testing Under Macro Scenarios: Stable SVaR Estimation Using a Hybrid GPR-HS Framework with SACS

arXiv:2606. 07575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Regulatory stress testing frameworks, including the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), require robust Stressed Value-at-Risk (SVaR) estimation under forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios.

GroupSegment-SHAP: Shapley Value Explanations with Group-Segment Players for Multivariate Time Series

GroupSegment-SHAP (GS‑SHAP) introduces explanatory units called group‑segment players that capture cross‑variable dependence and distribution shifts over time in multivariate time‑series models. By attributing Shapley values to these units, GS‑SHAP preserves joint structural signals that traditional time‑series SHAP variants fragment. Experiments on human activity recognition, power‑system forecasting, medical signal analysis, and financial time series show that GS‑SHAP improves deletion‑based faithfulness by about 1.7× and reduces runtime by roughly 40% compared to existing baselines, while a financial case study demonstrates its ability to reveal interpretable multivariate‑temporal interactions during high‑volatility periods.

Auditable Climate Risk Intelligence from Fragmented ESG Data: Deterministic Orchestration and Imbalance-Aware Learning for Scope 1-3 Validation

arXiv:2606. 02604v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: ESG and climate risk data remain fragmented across heterogeneous Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 reporting environments, while conventional validation pipelines lack provenance aware auditability, hidden drift detection, and reproducibility oriented governance.

FinInvest-GTCN: Explainable Graph-Temporal-Causal Modeling for Risk-Aware Investment Decision Optimization

arXiv:2606. 28933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Venture capital (VC) investment decisions face distinct challenges, such as multi-source heterogeneous data, non-stationary time series, and the demand for explainable predictions in high-stakes, low-data settings.

Communicating Credit Risk with Large Language Models: Evaluation of Explanations from Standard and Alternative Data-Based Models

The study investigates whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can translate technical explanations from credit risk models into stakeholder-friendly narratives. Using Freddie Mac loan data, the authors compare standard tabular models (XGBoost + SHAP) with alternative data pipelines (GNN + GNNExplainer and a bimodal mix) and generate explanations with three LLM configurations: a small fine‑tuned Gemma 3 4B, a large fine‑tuned DeepSeek R1 70B, and a zero‑shot Gemini 2.5. Findings show that the quality of explanations is more dependent on the evidence representation than on the LLM, that narratives reliably identify influential factors but are less consistent about the direction of influence, and that credit professionals demand higher evidentiary standards than non‑professionals.
