“…There has been a growing demand for explainable models in the machine learning (ML) community and as a result, explainable artificial intelligence has been developed as a subfield of ML with the goal of providing results with human‐interpretable explanations (e.g., Lipton, 2018). Indeed, several interpretable models have been developed recently for forecasting geomagnetic indices (e.g., Ayala Solares et al., 2016; Iong et al., 2022). In this paper, we adapt a state‐of‐the‐art feature attribution method called DeepSHAP (Lundberg & Lee, 2017), to explain the behavior of the ORIENT model at a representative electron energy of ∼1 MeV, during a storm time event and a non‐storm time event.…”
