Consistent Individualized Feature Attribution for Tree Ensembles

How to trust predictions: fast, fair explanations for every case

Ever wonder why a computer made a choice about your loan, or a health score? Many explanations are confusing or even misleading, sometimes giving less credit to a factor when it actually matters more.
Researchers fixed that by using a fair math idea called SHAP, so each factor gets a clear, consistent share of credit.
The result is explanations that feel fair and help people build more trust in models.
They also made the method very fast for the common tree models, and added ways to show how features work together, not just alone.
New visuals make it simple to see what mattered for each person, and a way to group cases by those explanations helps spot patterns you would otherwise miss.
Tests showed humans prefer these explanations, and the code have been added to popular tools so it runs at real scale.
If you want model answers that are honest, fast, and easy to read, this approach gives individualized insight for every prediction, right where people need it.
