Mercury's robust is a library to perform robust testing on models and/or datasets..
Project description
mercury-robust
Mercury project at BBVA
Mercury is a collaborative library that was developed by the Advanced Analytics community at BBVA. Originally, it was created as an InnerSource project but after some time, we decided to release certain parts of the project as Open Source.
That's the case with the mercury-robust
package.

Introduction to mercury-robust
mercury-robust
is a Python library designed for performing robust testing on machine learning models and datasets. It helps ensure that data workflows and models are robust against certain conditions, such as data drift, label leaking or the input data schema, by raising an exception when they fail. This library is intended for data scientists, machine learning engineers and anyone interested in ensuring the performance and robustness of their models in productive environments.
Importance of ML Robustness
Errors or misbehaviours in machine learning models and datasets can have significant consequences, especially in sensitive domains such as healthcare or finance. It is important to ensure that model performance is align to what was measured in testing environemnts and robust to prevent harm to individuals or organizations that rely on them. mercury-robust
helps ensure the robustness of machine learning models and datasets by providing a modular framework for performing tests.
Types of Tests
mercury-robust
provides two main types of tests: Data Tests
and Model Tests
. In addition, all tests can be added to a container class called TestSuite
Data Tests
Data Tests receive a dataset as the main input argument and check different conditions. For example, the `CohortPerformanceTest checks whether some metrics perform poorly for some cohorts of data when compared to other groups. This is particularly relevant for measuring fairness in sensitive variables.
Model Tests
Model Tests involve data in combination with a machine learning model. For example, the ModelSimplicityChecker
evaluates if a simple baseline, trained in the same dataset, gives better or similar performance to a given model. It is used to check if added complexity contributes significantly to improve the model.
if the complexisty of the model is adecuate to the model measures the importance of every input feature and fails if the model has input features that add very marginal contribution.
TestSuite
This class provides an easy way to group tests and execute them together. Here's an example of a TestSuite
that checks for input features that add very marginal importance to the model, the existence of linear combinations in those features, or some kind of data drift:
from mercury.robust.model_tests import ModelSimplicityChecker
from mercury.robust.data_tests import LinearCombinationsTest, DriftTest
from mercury.robust.suite import TestSuite
# Create some tests
complexity_test = ModelSimplicityChecker(
model = model,
X_train = X_train,
y_train = y_train,
X_test = X_test,
y_test = y_test,
threshold = 0.02,
eval_fn = roc_auc_score
)
drift_test = DriftTest(df_test, train_schma, name="drift_train_test")
lin_comb_test = LinearCombinationsTest(df_train)
# Create the TestSuite with the tests
test_suite = TestSuite(
tests=[complexity_test, drift_test, lin_comb_test], run_safe=True
)
# Obtain results
test_results = test_suite.get_results_as_df()
Cheatsheet
To help you get started with using mercury-robust
, we've created a cheatsheet that summarizes the main features and methods of the library. You can download the cheatsheet from here: RobustCheatsheet.pdf
User installation
The easiest way to install mercury-robust
is using pip
:
pip install -U mercury-robust
