Overview

About

Maintained by Niklas KoenenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Interpretation methods for analyzing the behavior and individual predictions of modern neural networks in a three-step procedure: Converting the model, running the interpretation method, and visualizing the results. Implemented methods are, e.g., 'Connection Weights' described by Olden et al. (2004) doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2004.03.013, layer-wise relevance propagation ('LRP') described by Bach et al. (2015) doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0130140, deep learning important features ('DeepLIFT') described by Shrikumar et al. (2017) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1704.02685 and gradient-based methods like 'SmoothGrad' described by Smilkov et al. (2017) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1706.03825, 'Gradient x Input' or 'Vanilla Gradient'. Details can be found in the accompanying scientific paper: Koenen & Wright (2024, Journal of Statistical Software, doi:10.18637/jss.v111.i08).

Changes in 0.3.2

Fixed a bug in the eval argument in vignette chunks.
Skipped some tests for convolutional layers on Windows due to issues with

functional convolutions when using non-default dilation and double precision

tensors (see PyTorch issue #141221).

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("innsight", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("bips-hb/innsight")

Development version from bips-hb/innsight. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-innsight

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-innsight

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-innsight

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
