Explainability Formats
Image Classification
Modzy provides full support for explainability in image classification models. All that is necessary is that a model container returns the following information in the JSON object accompanying the results object:
"explanation": {
"maskRLE": [],
"dimensions": {}
}
In this explanation
object, maskRLE
refers to the column-major order (Fortran order) Run-Length Encoded (RLE) 2-dimensional binary mask (the size of the original input image) containing 1
s in the region(s) within the image which were deemed by the employed explainability technique to be the most important in the model's prediction and 0
s everywhere else. The dimensions
object should contain the height
and width
of the original image in pixels.
Here is an example of the full model output containing explainability results from our Image Classification: Explainable model:

"data": {
"drift": null,
"explanation": {
"dimensions": {
"height": 426,
"width": 640

If the explainability output adheres to the required format, the explanation will be visualized in Modzy. Here is a screenshot of the rendered visualization corresponding with the example JSON results above:

This particular model uses Modzy's AXAI explainability technique, but you are free to use any explainability technique given that you can transform the results into the required format. More image classification usage information is available here.
Text Classification
Modzy provides full support for explainability in text classification models. All that is necessary is that a model container returns the following information in the JSON object accompanying the results object:
"explanation": {
"wordImportances": {},
"explainableText": {}
}
In this explanation
object, wordImportances
is an object in which keys are class names and values are arrays containing explanation entry objects. Each of these explanation entry objects contains the word
, score
, and optionally the index
of the occurrence of the word in the text split on whitespace. If explainableText
is provided, then index
values must refer to the explainableText
. If explainableText
is not provided, then index
values must refer to the original input text. If a score
is negative, it means that the word contributed negatively to that class prediction.
Here is an example of the full model output containing explainability results from our Sentiment Analysis model:
{'data': {'drift': None,
'explanation': {'wordImportances': {'negative': [],
'neutral': [{'index': 4,
'score': -0.00433,
'word': 'the'},

'score': -0.00532,
'word': 'explainability'},
{'index': 0,

'positive': [{'index': 1,
'score': 0.3015,
'word': 'love'},
{'index': 5,
'score': 0.29722,
'word': 'best'},
{'index': 3,
'score': 0.00665,
'word': "it's"},
{'index': 0,
'score': 0.00612,
'word': 'i'},
{'index': 2,

'word': 'explainability'}]}},
'result': {'classPredictions': [{'class': 'positive',
'score': 0.677},
{'class': 'neutral',
'score': 0.323},
