Explaining black-box models using attribute importance, PDPs, and LIME

Domino Data Lab

In this article we’ll use Skater , a freely available framework for model interpretation, to illustrate some of the key concepts above. Skater provides a wide range of algorithms that can be used for visual interpretation (e.g. layer-wise relevance propagation), model distillation (e.g. 2015) for additional details.
