What is it about?
This paper demonstrates how Shapley values can provide explainability for credit scorecards built with advanced machine learning techniques like XGBoost and Random Forest. The proposed method offers a level of transparency comparable to traditional logistic regression models used in banking.

Why is it important?
This paper is important because it tackles a key barrier to using advanced machine learning techniques in the highly regulated banking industry, where explainability is crucial. By showing that these techniques can be made transparent, it paves the way for their broader adoption in credit decision-making.
