What problem does it solve?

SHAP helps you understand why a machine learning model produced a particular prediction by attributing the output to individual input features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Feature importance & prediction explanations: Compute SHAP values to quantify each feature’s contribution relative to a baseline (expected output).
  • Visualization for global and local understanding: Generate interpretability plots such as beeswarm, bar, waterfall, scatter, force, and heatmap.
  • Debugging and validation: Diagnose unexpected behavior, investigate errors, and analyze potential bias or fairness issues across groups.
  • Model-agnostic workflow: Use the right explainer for tree-based models, deep learning, linear models, and black-box models.

Quick Start

Use SHAP to explain which features most influenced a prediction by running a SHAP explainer, computing SHAP values for your dataset, and producing a beeswarm plot for global importance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explain machine learning model predictions using feature importance?

Feature importance is computed using SHAP values to quantify each feature's contribution to a prediction relative to a baseline. This explains why a machine learning model produced a particular output by attributing it to individual input features.

What types of models can I analyze for model interpretability?

You can analyze tree-based models, deep learning models, linear models, and black-box predictors for model interpretability. Selecting the appropriate SHAP explainer allows you to compute feature attributions across these different model architectures.

Can I visualize feature attributions for both global and local model predictions?

Yes, you can visualize feature attributions using SHAP plotting workflows that generate beeswarm, bar, waterfall, scatter, force, and heatmap plots. These visualizations provide both global feature importance understanding and per-instance local explanations.

How do I use SHAP values for fairness analysis and debugging?

Use SHAP values for fairness analysis and debugging by computing feature attributions to diagnose unexpected model behavior and investigate errors. Analyze potential bias by examining how individual input features influence predictions across different demographic groups.

What is the best way to get started with explainable AI for black-box predictors?

Start with explainable AI for black-box predictors by selecting a model-agnostic SHAP explainer, computing SHAP values for your dataset, and generating a beeswarm plot. This workflow reveals global feature importance and individual prediction contributions for opaque models.
