easy-explain 0.4.0

A library that helps to explain AI models in a really quick & easy way

Easy Explain

Simplify the Explanation of AI Models

Unlock the "why" behind your AI models' decisions with easy-explain, a Python package designed to democratize access to advanced XAI algorithms. By integrating state-of-the-art explanation techniques with minimal code, we make AI transparency accessible to developers and researchers alike.

[!IMPORTANT] The new version of easy-explain has breaking changes. We have changed the logic of different imports to support more models like YoloV8. Have a look at the provided examples.

Requirements

Python Versions Supported

• Primary: 3.10
• Also Supported: 3.8, 3.9

Ensure one of these Python versions is installed on your system to use easy-explain.

Install Environment & Dependencies

easy-explain can be seamlessly integrated into your projects with a straightforward installation process:

Installation as a Package

To incorporate easy-explain into your project as a dependency, execute the following command in your terminal:

pip install easy-explain

Features and Functionality

easy-explain uses under the hood different packages based on the model to be used. Captum is used for classification models and it aids to comprehend how the data properties impact the model predictions or neuron activations, offering insights on how the model performs. Captum comes together with Pytorch library. There are also other customade algorithms to support other models like the LRP implementation for YoloV8.

Currently, easy-explain specializes in two cutting-edge XAI methodologies for images:

• Occlusion: For deep insight into classification model decisions.
• Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP): Specifically tailored for YoloV8 models, unveiling the decision-making process in object detection tasks.

Quick Start

To begin unraveling the intricacies of your model's decisions, import and utilize the corresponding classes as follows:

from easy_explain.methods.occlusion.occlusion import OcclusionExplain 

from easy_explain.methods.lrp.yolov8.yolo import YOLOv8LRP

For more information about how to begin have a look at the examples notebooks.
