Packet 8: Bonus 3
Answer the following about frameworks in the field of explainable AI, or XAI, for 10 points each.

ANSWER: black box
[10h] A standard XAI method uses these game-theoretic values, whose unique satisfaction of efficiency, additivity, symmetry, and the null player property is useful for transparent feature selection. These values are the average marginal contributions of a variable to a coalition.
ANSWER: Shapley values
[10m] In 2020, this company’s research division released InterpretML as one of its XAI development tools. This company created the dot-NET platform to support an object-oriented language it developed.
