Null importance: Disentangling relevance for interpretable machine learning

Garvesh Raskutti, Kris Sankaran, Jiaxin Ye

Feature importance is central to interpretable machine learning, but the term "importance" encompasses several fundamentally different notions of relevance. We develop a unified pe…

Online Localized Conformal Prediction

Yuheng Lai, Garvesh Raskutti

Conformal prediction is a framework that provides valid uncertainty quantification for general models with exchangeable data. However, in the online learning and time-series settin…

MinShap: A Shapley-Based Framework for Feature Redundancy

Chenghui Zheng, Garvesh Raskutti

Shapley values provide a flexible framework for attributing feature contributions to model predictions, but they are not naturally suited for feature selection: a feature may recei…

A Theoretical Framework for LLM Fine-tuning Using Early Stopping for Non-random Initialization

Zexuan Sun, Garvesh Raskutti

In the era of large language models (LLMs), fine-tuning pretrained models has become ubiquitous. Yet the theoretical underpinning remains an open question. A central question is wh…

Comparing Model-agnostic Feature Selection Methods through Relative Efficiency

Chenghui Zheng, Garvesh Raskutti

Feature selection and importance estimation in a model-agnostic setting is an ongoing challenge of significant interest. Wrapper methods are commonly used because they are typicall…

Reliable and scalable variable importance estimation via warm-start and early stopping

Zexuan Sun, Garvesh Raskutti

As opaque black-box predictive models become more prevalent, the need to develop interpretations for these models is of great interest. The concept of variable importance and Shapl…
