ixai 0.1.3

Explainable Artificial Intelligence for dynamic and Incremental models.

ixai: Incremental Explainable Artificial Intelligence

This is the first iteration of our incremental explanation package.

Currently, it includes two explanation methods: PFI and SAGE.

Please look at the examples in the examples directory.

Please help us in improving our work by contributing or pointing to issues. We will update this iteration soon with further information.

🛠 Installation

ixai is intended to work with Python 3.8 and above. Installation can be done via pip:

pip install ixai

📊 Quickstart

Basic Classification

>>> from river.metrics import Accuracy
>>> from river.ensemble import AdaptiveRandomForestClassifier
>>> from river.datasets.synth import Agrawal

>>> from ixai.explainer import IncrementalPFI

>>> stream = Agrawal(classification_function=2)
>>> feature_names = list([x_0 for x_0, _ in stream.take(1)][0].keys())

>>> model = AdaptiveRandomForestClassifier(n_models=10, max_depth=10, leaf_prediction='mc')

>>> incremental_pfi = IncrementalPFI(
...     model_function=model.predict_one,
...     loss_function=Accuracy(),
...     feature_names=feature_names,
...     smoothing_alpha=0.001,
...     n_inner_samples=5
... )

>>> training_metric = Accuracy()
>>> for (n, (x, y)) in enumerate(stream, start=1)
...     y_pred = model.predict_one(x)       # inference
...     training_metric.update(y, y_pred)   # update score
...     incremental_pfi.explain_one(x, y)   # explaining
...     model.learn_one(x, y)               # learning
...     if n % 1000 == 0:
...         print(f"{n}: Accuracy: {training_metric.get():.3f}, PFI: {incremental_pfi.importance_values}")
