📦 nlp-shap
Multimodal explainability for NLP and multimodal models based on Shapley-style cooperative game theory.
Installation
pip install nlp-shap
Optional backends and visualization:
pip install "nlp-shap[transformers]" # Hugging Face text backend
pip install "nlp-shap[lmstudio]" # LM Studio SDK
pip install "nlp-shap[api]" # OpenAI-compatible HTTP API
pip install "nlp-shap[viz]" # matplotlib token charts
The core package does not install PyTorch. See the extending guide for plugin entry points.
Quickstart
from nlp_shap import ExplainConfig, ExplainRunner
from nlp_shap.domain.conversation import ConversationSnapshot, Message, Turn
from nlp_shap.domain.enums import Role
snapshot = ConversationSnapshot.from_turns((
Turn(messages=(Message(role=Role.USER, text="refund my order"),)),
))
config = ExplainConfig.model_validate({
"backend": {"kind": "mock", "model_id": "stub"},
"explanation": {"estimator": "exact", "value_fn": "tfidf_cosine"},
})
output = ExplainRunner(config).explain_sync(snapshot)
print(output.result.values)
From source:
git clone https://github.com/Pawlo77/nlp-shap
cd nlp-shap
