Abstract

In the last years, the usage of Shapley value is being extended through machine learning algorithms as a method to determine the importance of a feature on its contribution to a certain target value. This is done by defining a cooperative game where features play the role of voters. In this talk we will focus in the need of using a predictor to define the game and its consecuences. We will point out other directions in order to obtain the importance of the features in a more robust way. Also we will comment real world use cases where the feature importances plays a key role.
