So, you want to know why your classifier arrived at a particular decision or why your flashy new deep learning classification model is not performing in the way which you would want it to perform? Or there could be bias in your dataset towards a particular class and you want to understand if there are any such edge cases.

One of the common criticisms of deep learning has been it's black box nature (life itself is a big black box, not at all interpretable, don't even ask me about love). To address this issue, researchers have developed many ways to visualise and explain the inference. It is not necessary that a model has to be explainable, but when important decisions like which jobs to recommend to a person or whether to give a person loan are being made, it would be helpful to cross-check the model's claims. In such domains, self-explainable models are necessary.

This library is an ongoing effort to provide a high-level access to such models by building on top of PyTorch.

Here is what you can expect to visualize from a trained model.

Note: This model is a convolutional neural network trained on IMDB sentiment analysis dataset. I trained the model using SGD till validation loss stopped improving. Here is sensitivity analysis on some sample inputs. You can find more details about training the model in the Jupyter notebooks from the examples directory.
