Cluster analysis is a popular method for identifying subgroups within a population, but the results are often challenging to interpret and action. Supervised clustering leverages SHAP values to identify better-separated clusters using a more structured representation of the data.
Utility vs Understanding: the State of Machine Learning Entering 2022
The empirical utility of some fields of machine learning has rapidly outpaced our understanding of the underlying theory: the models are unreasonably effective, but we're not entirely sure why.
Explaining Machine Learning Models: A Non-Technical Guide to Interpreting SHAP Analyses
With interpretability becoming an increasingly important requirement for machine learning projects, there's a growing need for the complex outputs of techniques such as SHAP to be communicated to non-technical stakeholders.
Could Vaccinating Young People Before Old People Save More Lives?
Vaccines are tackling the COVID-19 epidemic in two ways: reducing the severity of infections, and preventing their transmission. Both mechanisms save lives, but the vaccination strategies that leverage each can be conflicting.
