PDD-SHAP: Fast Approximations for Shapley Values using Functional Decomposition

Because of their strong theoretical properties, Shapley values have become very popular as a way to explain predictions made by black box models. Unfortuately, most existing techniques to compute Shapley values are computationally very expensive. We propose PDD-SHAP, an algorithm that uses an ANOVA-based functional decomposition model to approximate the black-box model being explained. This allows us to calculate Shapley values orders of magnitude faster than existing methods for large datasets, significantly reducing the amortized cost of computing Shapley values when many predictions need to be explained.
