Abstract
Systems and methods for machine learning, models, and related explainability and interpretability are provided. A computing device determines a contribution of a feature to a predicted value. A feature computation dataset is defined based on a selected next selection vector. A prediction value is computed for each observation vector included in the feature computation dataset using a trained predictive model. An expected value is computed for the selected next selection vector based on the prediction values. The feature computation dataset is at least a partial copy of a training dataset with each variable value replaced in each observation vector included in the feature computation dataset based on the selected next selection vector. Each replaced variable value is replaced with a value included in a predefined query for a respective variable. A Shapley estimate value is computed for each variable.
