Generating locally invariant explanations for machine learning

Abstract

Techniques for generating explanations for machine learning (ML) are disclosed. These techniques include identifying an ML model, an output from the ML model, and a plurality of constraints, and generating a plurality of neighborhoods relating to the ML model based on the plurality of constraints. The techniques further include generating a predictor for each of the plurality of neighborhoods using the ML model and the plurality of constraints, constructing a combined predictor based on combining each of the respective predictors for the plurality of neighborhoods, and creating one or more explanations relating to the ML model and the output from the ML model using the combined predictor.
