Anytime Approximate Formal Feature Attribution

no code implementations12 Dec 2023 Jinqiang Yu, Graham Farr, Alexey Ignatiev, Peter J. Stuckey

A recent alternative is so-called formal feature attribution (FFA), which defines feature importance as the fraction of formal abductive explanations (AXp's) containing the given feature.

On Formal Feature Attribution and Its Approximation

1 code implementation7 Jul 2023 Jinqiang Yu, Alexey Ignatiev, Peter J. Stuckey

For instance and besides the scalability limitation, the formal approach is unable to tackle the feature attribution problem.

Delivering Inflated Explanations

1 code implementation27 Jun 2023 Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Peter Stuckey, Joao Marques-Silva

Given a set of feature values for an instance to be explained, and a resulting decision, a formal abductive explanation is a set of features, such that if they take the given value will always lead to the same decision.

On Tackling Explanation Redundancy in Decision Trees

no code implementations20 May 2022 Yacine Izza, Alexey Ignatiev, Joao Marques-Silva

The belief in DT interpretability is justified by the fact that explanations for DT predictions are generally expected to be succinct.

SAT-Based Rigorous Explanations for Decision Lists

no code implementations14 May 2021 Alexey Ignatiev, Joao Marques-Silva

Unfortunately, and in clear contrast with the case of DTs, this paper shows that computing explanations for DLs is computationally hard.

Constraint-Driven Explanations of Black-Box ML Models

Explaining Naive Bayes and Other Linear Classifiers with Polynomial Time and Delay

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Joao Marques-Silva, Thomas Gerspacher, Martin C. Cooper, Alexey Ignatiev, Nina Narodytska

In contrast, we show that the computation of one PI-explanation for an NBC can be achieved in log-linear time, and that the same result also applies to the more general class of linear classifiers.

Computing Optimal Decision Sets with SAT

no code implementations29 Jul 2020 Jinqiang Yu, Alexey Ignatiev, Peter J. Stuckey, Pierre Le Bodic

Earlier work on generating optimal decision sets first minimizes the number of rules, and then minimizes the number of literals, but the resulting rules can often be very large.
