C-SHAP: A Hybrid Method for Fast and Efficient Interpretability by Golshid Ranjbaran, Diego Reforgiato Recupero, Chanchal K. Roy, Kevin A. Schneider

“…While SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) has proven to be a robust tool for explaining machine learning predictions, its high computational cost limits its practicality for real-time use. To address this, we introduce C-SHAP (Clustering-Boosted SHAP), a hybrid method that combines SHAP with K-means clustering to reduce execution times significantly while preserving interpretability. …”
