From Log-Odds to Shapley Values: An Explanatory Geometry for the Weighted Naive Bayes Classifier

The paper develops an explanatory framework for weighted naive Bayes classifiers by transforming the traditional supervised distance based on conditional log-likelihoods into a discriminative log‑odds representation. It demonstrates that this new representation yields a distance identical to the α1 distance between vectors of analytical Shapley values, thereby linking model geometry to local explanations. The authors also empirically evaluate various supervised distances derived from these representations using a k‑nearest neighbors classifier.

Interval-valued SHAP in Tree-Based Models

The paper introduces an imprecise Dirichlet model (IDM) approach to evaluate the robustness of Shapley values in tree-based models such as decision trees and random forests. By quantifying interval-valued Shapley values—using pessimistic and averaging principles—when a few unannotated instances are added to tree leaves, the authors derive efficient computational methods and extend the framework to Banzhaf values. Experiments and case studies demonstrate how these interval-valued explanations can be applied to debias uninformative features.

Unreduced Persistence Diagrams for Topological Machine Learning

arXiv:2507. 07156v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Supervised machine learning pipelines trained on features derived from persistent homology have been experimentally observed to ignore much of the information contained in a persistence diagram.
