TimeSHAP: Explaining recurrent models through sequence perturbations
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are a family of models used for sequential tasks, such as predicting financial fraud based on customer behavior. These models are very powerful, but their decision processes are opaque and unintelligible to humans and rendering them black boxes to humans. Understanding how RNNs work is imperative to assess whether the model is relying on any spurious correlations or discriminating against certain groups. In this blog post, we provide an overview of TimeSHAP, a novel model-agnostic recurrent explainer developed at Feedzai. TimeSHAP extends the KernelSHAP explainer to recurrent models. You can try TimeSHAP at Feedzai’s Github.
