Counterfactual Explanation of Shapley Value in Data Coalitions
Summary: Defines counterfactual explanations for Shapley value: the minimal subset transfer from owner A to B that reverses their Shapley ranking; proves existence and NP-hardness. Proposes SV-Exp—heuristics using differential Shapley, per-entry power, and greedy shifting—to cheaply approximate counterfactuals with empirical speedups. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
