iml: An R package for Interpretable Machine Learning
Open accessAbstract
Complex, non-parametric models, which are typically used in machine learning, have proven to be successful in many prediction tasks.But these models usually operate as black boxes: While they are good at predicting, they are often not interpretable.Many inherently interpretable models have been suggested, which come at the cost of losing predictive power.Another option is to apply interpretability methods to a black box model after model training.Given the velocity of research on new machine learning models, it is preferable to have model-agnostic tools which can be applied to a random forest as well as to a neural network.Tools for model-agnostic interpretability methods should improve the adoption of machine learning.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
