The proposed unified framework for local and global feature-based explanations leverages functional ANOVA from statistics and game-theoretic measures to determine the influence of feature distributions and higher-order interactions. The framework combines these two dimensions to compare a wide range of explanation techniques for features and groups of features. This work introduces three fANOVA decompositions and showcases its effectiveness on synthetic and real-world datasets.

This research paper creates a new way to understand how machine learning models make decisions. It looks at different methods, like perturbations or gradients, that try to explain these decisions. The problem is that we don’t know much about what makes these methods different, which limits their use in real-world situations. This paper fixes this by introducing a single framework that combines two existing ideas from statistics and game theory. It then shows how this framework can be used to compare and understand many different explanation techniques.
