Looking for Trouble: Analyzing Classifier Behavior via Pattern Divergence
Summary: Proposes divergence over itemsets to quantify classifier behavior gaps in data subgroups via pattern mining. Shapley-value attribution quantifies each feature's contribution to divergence, enabling detection of critical/peculiar subgroups for validation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
