Causal ML and Interpretability

Causal inference and interpretable machine learning are increasingly vital for building robust and trustworthy AI systems.

Causal ML and Interpretability provide insights into causal relationships and explain the behavior of machine learning models, leading to more reliable and understandable outcomes.

Solutions: Adjust explanations for confounders using causal methods.

⚠️ Error 3: Misinterpretation of SHAP values

Problem: SHAP values demonstrate marginal contributions, not direct causation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) method?

The DiD method compares treated and control groups before and after treatment.

What is the Parallel Trends Assumption?

The Parallel Trends Assumption states that groups would evolve similarly without treatment.

What does Attention Visualization – Word-level attention represent?

Attention Visualization – Word-level attention represents the model's focus on different parts of a word during processing.

What is Integrated Gradients used for in attribution?

Integrated Gradients calculates the contribution of each feature to the prediction, providing a token attribution method.
