Abstract
Machine learning has proven increasingly essential in many fields. Yet, a lot obstacles still hinder its use by non-experts. The lack of trust in the results obtained is foremost among them, and has inspired several explanatory approaches in the literature. In this paper, we are investigating the domain of single prediction explanation. This is performed by providing the user a detailed explanation of the attribute’s influence on each single predicted instance, related to a particular machine learning model. A lot of possible explanation methods have been developed recently. Although, these approaches often require an important computation time in order to be efficient. That is why we are investigating about new proposals of explanation methods, aiming to increase time performances, for a small loss in accuracy.
