用民主投票机制解释表格数据,让特征重要性更透明可信。
Explainable AI Through a Democratic Lens: DhondtXAI for D'Hondt-Projected Feature Attribution
- 基于选举配额制分配特征贡献,支持联盟与阈值设定。
- 在真实医疗数据上与SHAP高度一致,相关性超0.93。
- 适合需要可解释、可调控的特征分析场景,如医疗决策。
本文提出DhondtXAI,一种不依赖SHAP的表格型可解释人工智能框架,采用D'Hondt规则进行特征归因。该方法通过背景干预下的移除效应计算,区分正负证据,支持特征联盟构建与阈值调节,并以D'Hondt规则分配‘席位’,最终投影至局部模型输出差异。完整性由构造保证,投影残差比作为诊断指标。在合成加法与交互测试中,其能精确恢复真值排序;在乘法交互下,联盟使平均投影残差从0.2527降至0.0001。在威斯康星乳腺癌数据集(CatBoost)与早期糖尿病风险预测数据集(XGBoost)上,与SHAP的相关性分别为0.9273和0.9353,经符号、前k名、幅度、删除与敏感性分析验证。结果表明DhondtXAI是互补性的比例制、联盟感知、阈值感知的可解释方法,非对SHAP或LIME的替代。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This study presents DhondtXAI as a SHAP-independent, D'Hondt-based attribution framework for tabular XAI. Instead of model-native feature importance or SHAP values, DhondtXAI computes background-interventional removal effects, separates positive and negative evidence, forms optional feature alliances, applies optional thresholds, allocates seats via the D'Hondt rule, and projects onto the local model-output difference. Completeness is preserved by construction, with the projection residual ratio reported as a diagnostic. The method is evaluated on synthetic additive and interaction tests, correlated-feature perturbations, operator and apportionment ablations, projection-mode comparisons, logit-scale checks, repeated split validation, paired deletion tests, and two healthcare datasets: Wisconsin Diagnostic Breast Cancer (CatBoost) and early-stage diabetes risk prediction (XGBoost). SHAP serves only as an external comparator with aligned settings. In additive synthetics, DhondtXAI exactly recovers ground-truth rankings; in multiplicative interactions, alliances reduce the mean projection residual from 0.2527 to 0.0001. On WDBC and diabetes data, it shows high agreement with SHAP (Spearman rho = 0.9273 and 0.9353), supported by further signed, top-k, magnitude, deletion, and sensitivity analyses. Results position DhondtXAI as a complementary proportional, alliance-aware, and threshold-aware tabular XAI method, not a replacement for SHAP or LIME.
