Explaining Adverse Actions in Credit Decisions Using Shapley Decomposition

Vijayan N. Nair, Tianshu Feng, Linwei Hu +3

When a financial institution declines an application for credit, an adverse action (AA) is said to occur. The applicant is then entitled to an explanation for the negative decision…

Beyond Expected Goals: A Probabilistic Framework for Shot Occurrences in Soccer

Jonathan Pipping-Gamón, Tianshu Feng, R. Paul Sabin

Expected goals (xG) models estimate the probability that a shot results in a goal from its context (e.g., location, pressure), but they operate only on observed shots. We propose x…

Nonparametric Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference with Spline Approximation

Yuda Shao, Shan Yu, Tianshu Feng

Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (ADVI) is efficient in learning probabilistic models. Classic ADVI relies on the parametric approach to approximate the posterior. I…
