• Abstract summary: We propose a new model-agnostic method for calculating local variable importance, CLIQUE, that captures locally dependent relationships. We show that CLIQUE emphasizes locally dependent information and properly reduces bias in regions where variables do not affect the response.

• Abstract: Global variable importance measures are commonly used to interpret the results of machine learning models. Local variable importance techniques assess how variables contribute to individual observations. Current methods typically fail to accurately reflect locally dependent relationships between variables and instead focus on marginal importance values. Additionally, they are not natively adapted for multi-class classification problems. We propose a new model-agnostic method for calculating local variable importance, CLIQUE, that captures locally dependent relationships, improves over permutation-based methods, and can be directly applied to multi-category classification problems. Simulated and real-world examples show that CLIQUE emphasizes locally dependent information and properly reduces bias in regions where variables do not affect the response.

  Existing local Explainable AI (XAI) methods select a region of the input space in the vicinity of a given input instance, for which they approximate the behaviour of a model using a simpler and more interpretable surrogate model. We propose a novel method, MASALA, for generating explanations, which automatically determines the appropriate local region of impactful model behaviour for each individual instance being explained.

• Locally Adaptive and Differentiable Regression [10.194448186897906]
  We propose a general framework to construct a global continuous and differentiable model based on a weighted average of locally learned models in corresponding local regions. We demonstrate that when we mix kernel ridge and regression terms in the local models, and stitch them together continuously, we achieve faster statistical convergence in theory and improved performance in various practical settings.

  Few-shot learning aims to transfer knowledge learned from base with sufficient categories labelled data to novel categories with scarce known information. We propose a novel data augmentation strategy dubbed as PatchMix that can break this spurious dependency. We show that such an augmentation mechanism, different from existing ones, is able to identify the causal features.

  We propose a measure of a classifier's output invariance in a local transformation neighborhood. Our measure is simple to calculate, does not depend on the test point's true label, and can be applied even in out-of-domain (OOD) settings. In experiments on benchmarks in image classification, sentiment analysis, and natural language inference, we demonstrate a strong and robust correlation between our measure and actual OOD generalization.

• State, global and local parameter estimation using local ensemble Kalman filters: applications to online machine learning of chaotic dynamics [0.0]
  We more systematically investigate the possibilty to use a local ensemble Kalman filter with either covariance localization or local domains. Global parameters are meant to represent the surrogate dynamics, while the local parameters typically stand for the forcings of the model. This paper more generally addresses the key question of online estimation of both global and local model parameters.

We show how to analyze groups of variables (aspects) both when they are proposed by the user and when they should be determined automatically. We also present the new type of model visualisation, triplot, which exploits a hierarchical structure of variable grouping to produce a high information density model visualisation.

Experiments on toxicity classification and object classification tasks show that LOGAN identifies bias in a local region.
