Introduction

pudu is a Python package that helps interpret and explore the results of machine learning algorithms with spectroscopic data. It does this by quantifying the change in the prediction according to the change in the features. This library works with classification and regression problems with both 1-d and 2-d problems. actiIn order to see the exact procedure and format needed, please refer to the examples in the docs.

Features

The following is a list of the main features that pudu package enables.

• Importance: measures the change in prediction according to perturbations in the features.
• Speed: calculates how fast a prediction changes according to different perturbation levels.
• Synergy: tests the synergy between features and the change in classification probability.
• Re-activations: Evaluates how activations maps from CNN’s change according to perturbations in the data.
• Easy plotting with ample personalization options for all the cases above.
