本文探讨了可解释人工智能(XAI)在空间分析中的应用机遇。空间分析旨在建模空间关系、推断空间过程,从空间数据中生成知识,传统上依赖空间统计方法。近年来,机器学习因其可扩展性和灵活性成为补充手段,但其黑箱特性限制了对模型行为与输出的理解。为此,XAI应运而生,提供解释机器学习结果的方法,提升透明度与可理解性,对模型诊断、偏差检测和结果可靠性至关重要。本文重点介绍基于谢尔普利值的XAI方法及其在空间分析中的整合应用,并以2020年美国总统选举的县层级投票行为为例,展示谢尔普利值与空间分析结合的效果,与多尺度地理加权回归进行对比。最后讨论当前XAI技术的挑战与未来方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This chapter discusses the opportunities of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) within the realm of spatial analysis. A key objective in spatial analysis is to model spatial relationships and infer spatial processes to generate knowledge from spatial data, which has been largely based on spatial statistical methods. More recently, machine learning offers scalable and flexible approaches that complement traditional methods and has been increasingly applied in spatial data science. Despite its advantages, machine learning is often criticized for being a black box, which limits our understanding of model behavior and output. Recognizing this limitation, XAI has emerged as a pivotal field in AI that provides methods to explain the output of machine learning models to enhance transparency and understanding. These methods are crucial for model diagnosis, bias detection, and ensuring the reliability of results obtained from machine learning models. This chapter introduces key concepts and methods in XAI with a focus on Shapley value-based approaches, which is arguably the most popular XAI method, and their integration with spatial analysis. An empirical example of county-level voting behaviors in the 2020 Presidential election is presented to demonstrate the use of Shapley values and spatial analysis with a comparison to multi-scale geographically weighted regression. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the challenges and limitations of current XAI techniques and proposes new directions.
