Explainable AI Charts

Ramya Priya Updated by Ramya Priya

The explainable AI charts in Vizpads offer users a detailed view into how machine learning models derive their predictions. This bridges the gap between black-box AI predictions and tangible, understandable factors that influence each outcome.

How to create a new Explainable AI chart?

  1. Navigate to Explore --> Create new Vizpad or open an existing Vizpad.
  2. Click on Add Chart --> Explainable AI.
  3. In the Configuration pane on the right, choose the required ML Model. This model determines the predictions and factors shown in the Explainable AI Chart.
  1. From that model, select the required Business View from a list of Business Views used by the ML-Model.
  2. The target columns selected for prediction and accuracy will be auto-populated under Columns, and highlighted in yellow with a lock sign displayed adjacent to each column name.
  3. Sort by: Double click the columns by which the chart needs to be sorted or drag and drop the required columns under Sort by field.
  4. Unused: The columns that cannot be used for the chart but are selected will be listed here.
  5. Enable Pagination if you want data to be displayed in separate pages. Provide the required number to be shown per page in Show Rows field.
  6. Factors Sorting:
    The "Factors Sorting" section allows users to customize the order in which these factors are displayed, based on their values. By toggling between these options, users can gain a clearer understanding of which factors play a dominant role in AI's predictions and how they relate to each other in magnitude and direction.

1. Value Type:

  • Absolute: When you select this option, the factors will be sorted based on their absolute values. It ignores whether the influence of a factor is positive or negative. This mode focuses solely on the magnitude or strength of the influence, not its direction. For example, if you have factors with values of -10, 5, and -8, they'll be sorted as 10, 8, and 5 in absolute sorting.
  • Real: In this mode, factors are sorted by their genuine values, including their positive or negative influence. This mode gives you a holistic view by considering both the magnitude and the direction of the influence. Continuing with the previous example, they would be sorted as 5, -8, and -10 in real sorting.

2. Sort Direction:

The "Sort Direction" determines the order (ascending or descending) in which the factors are presented.

  • Decreasing: When selected, the factors will be displayed from the highest to the lowest value, based on the chosen value type (either Absolute or Real).
  • Increasing: Opposite to the decreasing option, factors are listed from the smallest (or most negative) to the largest (or most positive) based on the selected value type.

Components of Explainable AI Chart

  1. This chart presents a visual representation of the influencing factors for a machine learning model's prediction.
  • Prediction: Shows the predicted outcome of the machine learning model. It gives a snapshot of what will occur based on the data and factors.
  • Accuracy: Displays the accuracy percentage of the model's prediction. It helps gauge the reliability of the AI's insights
  • Factors: Lists down the factors affecting the prediction, ranked by their importance.
  • Values: Each factor comes with a value. A positive value indicates the factor positively impacts the prediction, while a negative value means it hampers it.
  1. To access a detailed breakdown of the prediction, click on any row within the chart.
  2. Upon selection, the left panel will update to display a list of contributing factors along with their respective values, offering a clear insight into the prediction's reasons.

By understanding the influencing factors, users can get a clear insight into the 'why' behind every AI prediction and make informed decisions.
