Overview

LIME-based local explanation skill for individual predictions across tabular, text, and image data using Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations.

Capabilities

• Tabular data explanations
• Text classification explanations
• Image classification explanations
• Submodular pick for representative samples
• Custom distance metrics
• Kernel width tuning
• Feature discretization
• Local surrogate model analysis

Target Processes

• Model Interpretability and Explainability Analysis
• Model Evaluation and Validation Framework

Tools and Libraries

• LIME
• scikit-learn
• numpy
• PIL/Pillow (for images)
