Great experience presenting my work in progress on #RashomonSets for #interpretability and #performance analysis at MCML Munich AI Day last week!

A fantastic chance to connect, learn, and share ideas - big thanks to the @munichcenterml.bsky.social for organizing.

Thank you so much @daiichisankyo.bsky.social for welcoming me in your office in Munich!
Great visit to Daiichi Sankyo in Munich! Thanks to Felix Just & Roger Garriga for the warm welcome. We shared exciting work from Simon Schallmoser, Shanshan Bai & Fiona Ewald on treatment effects, synthetic datasets & feature importance. Looking forward to more collabs! #MCML

Feature importance measures can clarify or mislead. PFI, LOCO, and SAGE each answer a different question.

Excited to be part of this platform!
My research focuses on global model-agnostic feature importance. Please check our recent paper: "A Guide to Feature Importance Methods for Scientific Inference" (link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...).
A Guide to Feature Importance Methods for Scientific Inference
While machine learning (ML) models are increasingly used due to their high predictive power, their use in understanding the data-generating process (DGP) is limited. Understanding the DGP requires ins...
