Neural Network Weights Transformation into Polynomial Coefficients

CRAN Package

Implements a method that builds the coefficients of a polynomial model that performs almost equivalently as a given neural network (densely connected). This is achieved using Taylor expansion at the activation functions. The obtained polynomial coefficients can be used to explain features (and their interactions) importance in the neural network, therefore working as a tool for interpretability or eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). See Morala et al. 2021 doi:10.1016/j.neunet.2021.04.036, and 2023 doi:10.1109/TNNLS.2023.3330328.
