The inadequacy of Shapley values for explainability

X Huang, J Marques-Silva - arXiv preprint arXiv:2302.08160, 2023 - arxiv.org
This paper develops a rigorous argument for why the use of Shapley values in explainable
AI (XAI) will necessarily yield provably misleading information about the relative importance …

Causal explanations and XAI

S Beckers - Conference on causal learning and reasoning, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
