Feature Importance Analysis with SHAP I Learned at Spotify (with the Help of the Avengers)

Two years ago, I conducted a fascinating research project at Spotify as part of my Master’s Thesis. I learned several useful ML techniques, which I believe any Data Scientist should have in their toolkit. And today, I’m here to walk you through one of them. During that time, I spent 6...

Feature Importance Analysis with SHAP I Learned at Spotify (with the Help of the Avengers)

This article is one of a two-part piece documenting my learnings from my Machine Learning Thesis at Spotify. Be sure to also check out the second article on how I succeeded in significantly optimizing my model for this research. Boosting Model Accuracy: Techniques I Learned During My Machine Lear...

SHAP for Binary and Multiclass Target Variables

SHAP values give the contribution of a model feature to a prediction. This is also true when we use SHAP for classification. Expect, for binary target variables, we interpret these values in terms of log odds. For multiclass targets, we use softmax. We will: Discuss th...
