# alibi-explainer

## Overview

Alibi explainability skill for counterfactual explanations, anchors, trust scores, and advanced model interpretation techniques.

## Capabilities

- Counterfactual instance generation
- Anchor explanations (rule-based)
- Integrated gradients for deep learning
- Kernel SHAP integration
- Contrastive Explanation Method (CEM)
- Trust scores for prediction confidence
- Pertinent positives and negatives
- Prototype and criticism selection

## Target Processes

- Model Interpretability and Explainability Analysis
- Model Evaluation and Validation Framework

## Tools and Libraries

- Alibi
- Alibi Detect
- TensorFlow/PyTorch
- scikit-learn
