marcotcr/lime-experiments

This repository contains the code to run the experiments present in this paper. The code here is frozen to what it was when we originally wrote the paper. If you're interested in using LIME, check out this repository, where we have packaged it up, improved the code quality, added visualizations and other improvements.

Running the commands below should be enough to get all of the results. You need specific versions python, sklearn, numpy, scipy. Install requirements in a virtualenv using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Experiment in section 5.2:

• DATASET -> 'multi_polarity_books', 'multi_polarity_kitchen', 'multi_polarity_dvd', 'multi_polarity_kitchen'

• ALGORITHM -> 'l1logreg', 'tree'

• EXPLAINER -> 'lime', 'parzen', 'greedy' or 'random'

    python evaluate_explanations.py --dataset DATASET --algorithm ALGORITHM --explainer EXPLAINER 
  

Experiment in section 5.3:

• DATASET -> 'multi_polarity_books', 'multi_polarity_kitchen', 'multi_polarity_dvd', 'multi_polarity_kitchen'

• ALGORITHM -> 'logreg', 'random_forest', 'svm', 'tree' or 'embforest', although you would need to set up word2vec for embforest

    python data_trusting.py -d DATASET -a ALGORITHM -k 10 -u .25 -r NUM_ROUNDS
  

Experiment in section 5.4:

• NUM_ROUNDS -> Desired number of rounds

• DATASET -> 'multi_polarity_books', 'multi_polarity_kitchen', 'multi_polarity_dvd', 'multi_polarity_kitchen'

• PICK -> 'submodular' or 'random' Run the following with the desired number of rounds:

    mkdir out_comparing
  
    python generate_data_for_compare_classifiers.py -d DATASET -o out_comparing/ -k 10 -r NUM_ROUNDS
  
    python compare_classifiers.py -d DATASET -o out_comparing/ -k 10 -n 10 -p PICK
