Cloud AI Platform v1 API - Class Explanation (2.15.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud AI Platform v1 API class Explanation.

Explanation of a prediction (provided in [PredictResponse.predictions][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.PredictResponse.predictions]) produced by the Model on a given [instance][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.ExplainRequest.instances].

Output only. Feature attributions grouped by predicted outputs.

For Models that predict only one output, such as regression Models that predict only one score, there is only one attibution that explains the predicted output. For Models that predict multiple outputs, such as multiclass Models that predict multiple classes, each element explains one specific item. [Attribution.output_index][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.Attribution.output_index] can be used to identify which output this attribution is explaining.

If users set [ExplanationParameters.top_k][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.ExplanationParameters.top_k], the attributions are sorted by [instance_output_value][Attributions.instance_output_value] in descending order. If [ExplanationParameters.output_indices][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.ExplanationParameters.output_indices] is specified, the attributions are stored by [Attribution.output_index][google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.Attribution.output_index] in the same order as they appear in the output_indices.

Output only. List of the nearest neighbors for example-based explanations.

For models deployed with the examples explanations feature enabled, the attributions field is empty and instead the neighbors field is populated.
