Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Machine Learning (ML) interpretability is a growing field of computational research, of which the goal is to shine a light on black-box predictive models. We present an evolutionary framework to improve upon existing post-hoc interpretability metrics, by quantifying feature synergy, or the strength of feature interactions in high-dimensional prediction problems. In two problem instances from bioinformatics and climate science, we validate our results with existing domain research, to show that feature synergy is a valuable metric for post-hoc interpretability.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
