Hi Connor, you mentioned on the limitation of the SHAP values that "highly correlated features are a problem when using shap values technique", but on this video the heat map shows that features are highly correlated?

@adataodyssey

7 ай бұрын

The problem with correlated features is that they can potentially lead to unexpected model predictions. That is when we sample pairs of feature values that do not exist in the dataset. Some models will still produce reasonable predictions even if there are correlated features. The point is you can still use SHAP even if you have correlated features. You just need to be aware that the results may be negatively impacted. It is important to validate the results using other methods and visualisations. For example, it's not included here, but in the course, we use SHAP interaction values to find an interaction between two features. We then confirm this interaction using a scatter plot. In other words, we had a useful result even with highly correlated features. I hope that makes sense!

I see that cuML computes Shapley values, however it does not look like the Explainer object is compatible with shap. Do you know if there is any way to use the cuML Explainer object and model with the shap package (by the way, excellent videos)

@adataodyssey

9 ай бұрын

Thanks! I'm not too familiar with cuML but I think it should be possible. You would have to replace all SHAP values and base_values in a SHAP explainer object with those from the cuML explainer object. It's not exactly what you are looking for but this article explains how you can manipulate the SHAP values object and then use the SHAP plots as normal: towardsdatascience.com/shap-for-categorical-features-7c63e6a554ea?sk=2eca9ff9d28d1c8bfde82f6784bdba19

Great video! Could you comment on the future of SHAP? It seems the project was abandoned. The latest commit is from June 2022 and there is a pile of 1.5k issues. I couldn't find much information about it and the other packages seem to depend on it. So there may be no alternative.

@adataodyssey

Жыл бұрын

That is a good point, Rafael! I think SHAP has a good future regardless of the package. The method is widely used in industry and is based on solid theory. The method is based on Shapley values which have been around for long time. For now the package works well for me. The 1.5k issues is more an indication of the popularity than major issues with the package. Hopefully, if it does run into serious issues then updates will be made. If not, I’m sure something will take it’s place. As I mentioned, it is very popular so someone is sure to take advantage of that. The code and method is all open sourced so it shouldn’t be too hard to replicate. I know there are already other implementations in R (see IML package).

Hi! Interesting video! Just wanted to mention that if you just run shap.plots.waterfall(shap_values[0]), you never get on the y-axis, the actual names of the features, but you get instead feature 5, feature 2, etc. Is there a quick fix?

@adataodyssey

6 ай бұрын

Yes, you should be able to fix that. You can try: 1) Make sure your X feature matrix (that you pass into the explainer function i.e. shap_values = explainer(X)) is a pandas dataframe and the column names are the correct feature names. You can check these using X.columns 2) Update the shap_values after they have been created using something like: shap_values.feature_names = list(["feature 1","feature 2", ... ]). It is important to pass the new names as a list. Let me know if that helps

Please explain how can i use shap to determine features important against classes in a multi classification problem. I need to know which features or values of features are contributing to prediction of each class in a multi classification system.

Hi Anki, I am sorry that the explanation was not clear. Yet, I am reluctant to make a video on the stacked force plot. This is because, in practice, I have not found it very useful. It is used to explore relationships between features and shap values. But you can do this using the dependence plots which are also easier to understand. In the course, I go into a bit more detail on the stacked force plot. Did you see that section?

Your confusion is warranted as there is not a clear interpretation for this feature. In the model, there are three sex features (M, F and I). Together they are mutually exclusive. You are right, by summing up the values you get a clear interpretation of the contribution of the original categorical feature. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this with the SHAP package.
