GitHub - interpretml/interpret: Fit interpretable models. Explain blackbox machine learning.
InterpretML is an open-source package that incorporates state-of-the-art machine learning interpretability techniques under one roof. With this package, you can train interpretable glassbox models and explain blackbox systems. InterpretML helps you understand your model's global behavior, or understand the reasons behind individual predictions.
EBM is an interpretable model developed at Microsoft Research*. It uses modern machine learning techniques like bagging, gradient boosting, and automatic interaction detection to breathe new life into traditional GAMs (Generalized Additive Models). This makes EBMs as accurate as state-of-the-art techniques like random forests and gradient boosted trees. However, unlike these blackbox models, EBMs produce exact explanations and are editable by domain experts.
from interpret.glassbox import ExplainableBoostingClassifier ebm = ExplainableBoostingClassifier() ebm.fit(X_train, y_train) # or substitute with LogisticRegression, DecisionTreeClassifier, RuleListClassifier, ... # EBM supports pandas dataframes, numpy arrays, and handles "string" data natively.
If you need to keep your data private, use Differentially Private EBMs (see DP-EBMs)
Interpret EBMs can be fit on datasets with 100 million samples in several hours. For larger workloads consider using distributed EBMs on Azure SynapseML: classification EBMs and regression EBMs
InterpretML was originally created by (equal contributions): Samuel Jenkins, Harsha Nori, Paul Koch, and Rich Caruana
EBMs are fast derivative of GA2M, invented by: Yin Lou, Rich Caruana, Johannes Gehrke, and Giles Hooker
We also build on top of many great packages. Please check them out!
