dime: Deep Interactive Model Explanations

Hubert Baniecki created an awesome package dime for serverless HTML interactive model exploration. The experimental version is at Github, here is the pkgdown website. It is a part of the DrWhy.AI project.

How does it work?

With the DALEX package you can create local and global model explanations for machine learning models. Each explanation can be visualized with a genetic plot() function.
Hubert created a generic plotD3() function which turns each explanation into an interactive D3 plot (with the help of r2d3 package). With the dime package you can combine few interactive explanations into a single dashboard. And the dashboard is serverless, you can host it at github or anywhere.

For example, the gif below shows how to combine a break down plot (local feature attribution) with ceteris paribus profiles (detailed analysis of a single variable). You can click a variable of interest to activate an appropriate ceteris paribus profile (click to play).

With the dime package you can combine any number of interactive widgets into a single dashboard. You can connect local, global explanations or EDA tools like histograms or barplots.

It’s very easy to generate such website. Just create an explainer and call the modelStudio() function.

The dime package is still in the experimental phase. Your feedback is welcomed. Feel free to submit an issue with comments or ideas.
