abstract = "Explainability has become one of the most discussed topics in
machine learning research in recent years, and although a lot of
methodologies that try to provide explanations to blackbox models
have been proposed to address such an issue, little discussion has
been made on the pre-processing steps involving the pipeline of
development of machine learning solutions, such as feature
selection. In this work, we evaluate a game-theoretic approach
used to explain the output of any machine learning model, SHAP, as
a feature selection mechanism. In the experiments, we show that
besides being able to explain the decisions of a model, it
achieves better results than three commonly used feature selection
algorithms.",
