Title: Assessment of the influence of features on a classification problem: an application to COVID-19 patients
Authors: L. Davila-Pena, Ignacio Garc\'ia-Jurado, B. Casas-M\'endez
Abstract summary: This paper deals with the evaluation of the influence of each of the features on the classification of individuals. A measure of that influence is introduced using the Shapley value of cooperative games. Some experiments have been designed in order to validate the appropriate performance of such measure.

Abstract: This paper deals with an important subject in classification problems addressed by machine learning techniques: the evaluation of the influence of each of the features on the classification of individuals. Specifically, a measure of that influence is introduced using the Shapley value of cooperative games. In addition, an axiomatic characterisation of the proposed measure is provided based on properties of efficiency and balanced contributions. Furthermore, some experiments have been designed in order to validate the appropriate performance of such measure. Finally, the methodology introduced is applied to a sample of COVID-19 patients to study the influence of certain demographic or risk factors on various events of interest related to the evolution of the disease.

This paper deals with a new measure of the influence of each feature on the response variable in classification problems. We consider a sample of individuals characterized by specific features, each feature encompassing a finite range of values, and classified based on a binary response variable.

Decoding Susceptibility: Modeling Misbelief to Misinformation Through a Computational Approach [61.04606493712002]
Susceptibility to misinformation describes the degree of belief in unverifiable claims that is not observable. Existing susceptibility studies heavily rely on self-reported beliefs. We propose a computational approach to model users' latent susceptibility levels.

Benchmarking Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Models through the Lens of Interpretability [82.29775890542967]
Estimating personalized effects of treatments is a complex, yet pervasive problem. Recent developments in the machine learning literature on heterogeneous treatment effect estimation gave rise to many sophisticated, but opaque, tools. We use post-hoc feature importance methods to identify features that influence the model's predictions.

Counterfactual Phenotyping with Censored Time-to-Events [18.10004502065758]
We present a latent variable approach to model heterogeneous treatment effects by proposing that an individual can belong to one of latent clusters with distinct response characteristics. We show that this latent structure can mediate the base survival rates and helps determine the effects of an intervention.

Interpretable Off-Policy Evaluation in Reinforcement Learning by Highlighting Influential Transitions [48.91284724066349]
Off-policy evaluation in reinforcement learning offers the chance of using observational data to improve future outcomes in domains such as healthcare and education. Traditional measures such as confidence intervals may be insufficient due to noise, limited data and confounding. We develop a method that could serve as a hybrid human-AI system, to enable human experts to analyze the validity of policy evaluation estimates.
