Model Governance: Interpretability

This article describes how ModelOp Center enables model interpretability/explainability monitoring.

Introduction

Enterprises need visibility into how models are making predictions. Mission-critical decisions cannot be made using a black box. Teams need to understand and explain model outputs. One such method is by understanding how each of the input features is impacting the outcome.

ModelOp Center provides a framework for calculating, tracking, and visualizing Model Interpretability metrics. Each of these can be determined on a model-by-model basis. You can also enforce a standard using an MLC Process as needed. The subsequent sections provide more detail on how to use ModelOp Center to implement Interpretability into your ModelOps program.

Interpretability

While model interpretability is a complex and rapidly-changing subject, ModelOp Center can assist you in understanding how much each feature contributes to the prediction, as well as monitoring each feature’s contribution over time. ModelOp Center does this by expecting a trained SHAP explainer artifact and finding the SHAP values over the input dataset. The SHAP results are persisted for auditability and tracking over time.

The following example uses the SHAP library to calculate the impact of the features on the prediction, calculates the average SHAP value for each feature, then yields it as a dictionary.

import pandas as pd import numpy as np import shap import pickle # modelop.init def begin(): global explainer, lr_model, threshold, features model_artifacts = pickle.load(open("model_artifacts.pkl", "rb")) explainer = model_artifacts['explainer'] lr_model = model_artifacts['lr_model'] threshold = model_artifacts['threshold'] features = model_artifacts['features'] pass def preprocess(data): prep_data = pd.DataFrame(index=data.index) prep_data["logit_int_rate"] = data.int_rate.apply(logit) prep_data["log_annual_inc"] = data.annual_inc.apply(np.log) prep_data["log_credit_age"] = data.credit_age.apply(np.log) prep_data["log_loan_amnt"] = data.loan_amnt.apply(np.log) prep_data["rent_indicator"] = data.home_ownership.isin(['RENT']).astype(int) return prep_data def prediction(data): return lr_model.predict_proba(data.loc[:, features])[:,1] def get_shap_values(data): shap_values = explainer.shap_values(data.loc[:, features]) shap_values = np.mean(abs(shap_values), axis=0).tolist() shap_values = dict(zip(features, shap_values)) sorted_shap_values = { k: v for k, v in sorted(shap_values.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]) } return sorted_shap_values # modelop.metrics def metrics(data): metrics = {} prep_data = preprocess(data) data = pd.concat([data, prep_data], axis=1) data.loc[:, 'probabilities'] = prediction(data) data.loc[:, 'predictions'] = data.probabilities \ .apply(lambda x: threshold > x) \ .astype(int) metrics['shap'] = get_shap_values(data) yield metrics

The following image shows the corresponding visualization for the SHAP values of the sample model to the Test Results in ModelOp Center.
