ELI5 is a Python package which helps to debug machine learning

classifiers and explain their predictions.

   :alt: explain_prediction for image data

It provides support for the following machine learning frameworks and packages:

* scikit-learn_. Currently ELI5 allows to explain weights and predictions

  of scikit-learn linear classifiers and regressors, print decision trees

  as text or as SVG, show feature importances and explain predictions

  of decision trees and tree-based ensembles. ELI5 understands text

  processing utilities from scikit-learn and can highlight text data

  accordingly. Pipeline and FeatureUnion are supported.

  It also allows to debug scikit-learn pipelines which contain

  HashingVectorizer, by undoing hashing.

* Keras_ - explain predictions of image classifiers via Grad-CAM visualizations.

* xgboost_ - show feature importances and explain predictions of XGBClassifier,

  XGBRegressor and xgboost.Booster.

* LightGBM_ - show feature importances and explain predictions of

  LGBMClassifier, LGBMRegressor and lightgbm.Booster.

* CatBoost_ - show feature importances of CatBoostClassifier,

  CatBoostRegressor and catboost.CatBoost.

* lightning_ - explain weights and predictions of lightning classifiers and

  regressors.

* sklearn-crfsuite_. ELI5 allows to check weights of sklearn_crfsuite.CRF

  models.

ELI5 also implements several algorithms for inspecting black-box models

(see `Inspecting Black-Box Estimators`_):

* TextExplainer_ allows to explain predictions

  of any text classifier using LIME_ algorithm (Ribeiro et al., 2016).

  There are utilities for using LIME with non-text data and arbitrary black-box

  classifiers as well, but this feature is currently experimental.

* `Permutation importance`_ method can be used to compute feature importances

  for black box estimators.

Explanation and formatting are separated; you can get text-based explanation

to display in console, HTML version embeddable in an IPython notebook

or web dashboards, a ``pandas.DataFrame`` object if you want to process

results further, or JSON version which allows to implement custom rendering

and formatting on a client.
