Date : 1 juin 2023 13:30 - Salle :Amphi 3 - Pôle commun Computing Shapley Values as Explanation Scores in Data Management and Machine Learning Leopoldo BERTOSSI, Professeur - SKEMA Business School, Montreal

The Shapley value, originally introduced in coalition game theory, has found applications in data management and machine learning, as an explanation score. With it one can assign numerical values to database tuples of feature values, depending on whether we observe a result of a query or a classification, to quantify the relevance of the tuple or the feature value in relation to this result. The Shapley value has a high computational complexity in general. In this presentation we will show relevant cases where its computation turns out to be tractable, and we will show applications of the efficient computation algorithms, in particular to explain outcomes from neural networks used as classifiers.
