用实例对比解释模型决策,让AI推理更直观可信。
From Abstract to Actionable: Pairwise Shapley Values for Explainable AI
- 通过近邻实例对比较来计算特征贡献,避免抽象基准。
- 在房价、材料属性等任务中提升解释可读性,计算更快。
- 适合需要透明决策的医疗、金融等高风险场景使用。
可解释人工智能(XAI)对保障机器学习系统在高风险领域中的透明度、问责制与信任至关重要。尽管Shapley值因公平性和一致性公理被广泛采用,但现有近似方法常依赖抽象基线或计算成本高昂,限制了可解释性与可扩展性。为此,我们提出成对Shapley值框架,将特征归因建立在特征空间相近的数据实例对之间,通过成对参考选择与单值插补,实现直观、模型无关的解释,显著降低计算开销。实验表明,该方法在房地产定价、聚合物性质预测及药物发现等多元回归与分类任务中均有效提升可解释性。结果证明,该方法有助于构建更透明的AI系统,推动XAI在真实场景中的应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Explainable AI (XAI) is critical for ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust in machine learning systems as black-box models are increasingly deployed within high-stakes domains. Among XAI methods, Shapley values are widely used for their fairness and consistency axioms. However, prevalent Shapley value approximation methods commonly rely on abstract baselines or computationally intensive calculations, which can limit their interpretability and scalability. To address such challenges, we propose Pairwise Shapley Values, a novel framework that grounds feature attributions in explicit, human-relatable comparisons between pairs of data instances proximal in feature space. Our method introduces pairwise reference selection combined with single-value imputation to deliver intuitive, model-agnostic explanations while significantly reducing computational overhead. Here, we demonstrate that Pairwise Shapley Values enhance interpretability across diverse regression and classification scenarios--including real estate pricing, polymer property prediction, and drug discovery datasets. We conclude that the proposed methods enable more transparent AI systems and advance the real-world applicability of XAI.
