SAILS: New Method Reveals Functional Form of Feature Interactions in ML Models
A new arXiv paper introduces SAILS, a surrogate-based approach that uses local effect smooths to characterize how features interact inside machine learning models. Unlike prior explanation techniques that only flag or score interactions, or that handle just a narrow set of interaction shapes, SAILS aims to expose the actual functional form of those interactions. The work is posted as a cross-listing on arXiv's cs.AI and cs.LG categories.
