Python libraries for Explainable AI (XAI) data scientists must know in 2022
Introduction
As AI has advanced, more intricate, opaque models have been created and used to tackle challenging issues. These models, in contrast to many prior models, are more challenging to comprehend and manage due to the design of their architecture. It can be challenging for developers and end users to identify the root cause of such models’ failures or failures that do not behave as anticipated or hoped for, or to come up with solutions to the issue. By revealing the underlying workings of these opaque models, XAI satisfies the burgeoning needs of AI engineering.
In this article I will talk about 6 popular Python frameworks for model interpretability and explainability.
SHAP
SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is a game theoretic approach to explain the output of any machine learning model. It connects optimal credit allocation with local explanations using the classic Shapley values from game theory and their related extensions (see papers for details and citations).
