LIME

LIME, or Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations, is a popular framework designed to explain the predictions of machine learning models. It was introduced to help users understand how complex models, such as deep neural networks or random forests, make decisions. LIME works by approximating the model’s mapping function through a process called input perturbation, where it generates synthetic samples based on the original input and observes how these variations affect the model’s predictions ².

Despite its popularity, LIME has faced criticism for several reasons. One major issue is that the explanations it provides can vary significantly depending on the choice of hyperparameters. This means that similar inputs may yield different explanations, leading to potential misunderstandings of the model’s behavior ¹. Additionally, LIME’s fidelity can be low, which raises concerns about the reliability of its interpretations ¹³.

Overall, LIME serves as a useful tool for gaining insights into individual predictions, but users should be cautious about its limitations and the impact of hyperparameter choices on the explanations provided.
