Mountaineer - Topology-Driven Visual Analytics for Comparing Local Explanations

Accepted at IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Install

Prerequisites for the provided installation script:

• Linux based operating System
• Anaconda/Minoconda package manager

Clone this repository. Then navigate to the root of the cloned repository in a terminal and just run

bash install.sh

The required environment can now be activated by

conda activate mountaineer

Recreating Case study 1

From the project root. First activate the installed environment and launch jupyter notebook.

conda activate mountaineer

jupyter notebook

The project root has notebooks with our experiments. You can use the loaded tool within 'Case_Study_1_Heloc_Explanations.ipynb' file directly to explore our experiments. The file includes everything needed to recreate Case Study 1. Simply run all the cells within the notebook. The final cell within the notebook will load the system with the generated explanation topologies.

The accompanying video 'CaseStudy1.mp4' will help guide the exploration to recreate figures from the paper for this case study.

Usage

conda activate mountaineer
import mountaineer as mnt

v = mnt.visualize(...)
