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.

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.

arXiv:2410. 01917v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Originally introduced in game theory, Shapley values have emerged as a central tool in explainable machine learning, where they are used to attribute model predictions to specific input features.
