Lime: model agnostic interpretability for machine learning

Story time: I was playing with the kaggle lending club dataset and getting <i>really</i> high accuracy (high 90s) predicting default with an out of the box sklearn model. Just for fun I ran it through LIME and discovered that every single default was <i>strongly</i> predicted by the &quot;recoveries&quot; feature. I looked into the data dictionary (yeah, I should have done so first...) and discovered that this feature indicates the amount of debt recovered by collections agencies...

I&#x27;ve found LIME extremely useful. When I&#x27;m doing ML consulting projects, my clients very often value more the ability to describe why it was such prediction than improvement in accuracy of the model by 0.05%
