Model Interpretability

Understanding WHY a model makes predictions is crucial for trust, debugging, and compliance. Interpretability tools explain black-box models.

SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations)

  • Based on game theory (Shapley values)
  • Shows contribution of each feature
  • Consistent, theoretically grounded
  • Works with any model
  • Can be computationally expensive

LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations)

  • Explains individual predictions
  • Fits simple model locally
  • Model-agnostic
  • Fast and intuitive

Other Methods

  • Saliency Maps: Which pixels matter for CNNs
  • GradCAM: Class activation mapping
  • Attention Weights: For transformers
  • Counterfactuals: "If X changed, prediction would flip"

Why Interpretability Matters

  • Trust: Users trust explainable systems
  • Debugging: Find why model fails
  • Compliance: GDPR "right to explanation"
  • Fairness: Detect bias in decisions
  • Science: Discover insights from learned patterns
