The paper addresses the issue of reliable explainability methods for complex machine learning models, particularly those based on Shapley values. It highlights the limitations of two commonly used approaches: conditional and marginal. The authors show that the conditional approach is flawed due to implicit assumptions of causality, while the marginal approach can lead to model extrapolation. They propose a new method that avoids model extrapolation by using marginal averaging and incorporating causal information, which replicates causal Shapley values. The paper demonstrates this approach on a real-world data example.

The paper is about making complex machine learning models more understandable. It talks about two ways to do this called Shapley values. One way has problems because it assumes things that aren’t true. The other way can also cause issues when the model tries to predict something new. The authors suggest a new method that fixes these problems and works better. They test their idea on real data.
