论文摘要
给定数千种同样准确的机器学习(ML)模型,用户如何在其中选择?最近的ML技术使领域专家和数据科学家能够为稀疏决策树生成完整的Rashomon设置,这是一套几乎最佳的可解释的ML模型。为了帮助ML从业者识别具有此Rashomon集合所需属性的模型,我们开发了Timbertrek,这是第一个互动可视化系统,该系统总结了数千个稀疏决策树的规模。两种用法方案突出了Timbertrek如何使用户能够轻松探索,比较和策划与域知识和价值观保持一致的模型。我们的开源工具直接在用户的计算笔记本和Web浏览器中运行,从而降低了创建更负责任的ML模型的障碍。 Timbertrek可在以下公共演示链接上获得:https://poloclub.github.io/timbertrek。
Given thousands of equally accurate machine learning (ML) models, how can users choose among them? A recent ML technique enables domain experts and data scientists to generate a complete Rashomon set for sparse decision trees--a huge set of almost-optimal interpretable ML models. To help ML practitioners identify models with desirable properties from this Rashomon set, we develop TimberTrek, the first interactive visualization system that summarizes thousands of sparse decision trees at scale. Two usage scenarios highlight how TimberTrek can empower users to easily explore, compare, and curate models that align with their domain knowledge and values. Our open-source tool runs directly in users' computational notebooks and web browsers, lowering the barrier to creating more responsible ML models. TimberTrek is available at the following public demo link: https://poloclub.github.io/timbertrek.
