SHAP, or SHapley Additive exPlanations, is a game theoretic approach to explain the output of any machine learning model. It connects optimal credit allocation with local explanations using the classic Shapley values from game theory and their related extensions. Shapley values are approximating using Kernel SHAP, which uses a weighting kernel for the approximation, and DeepSHAP, which uses DeepLift to approximate them.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (550 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
