v0.5.5

v0.5.5 (2020-10-20)

Full Changelog

Added

• New feature Distributed backend using ray. To use, install ray using pip install alibi[ray].
• New feature KernelShap distributed version using the new distributed backend.
• For anchor methods added an explanation field data['raw']['instances'] which is a batch-wise version of the existing data['raw']['instance']. This is in preparation for the eventual batch support for anchor methods.
• Pre-commit hook for pyupgrade via nbqa for formatting example notebooks using Python 3.6+ syntax.

Fixed

• Flaky test for distributed anchors (note: this is the old non-batchwise implementation) by dropping the precision treshold.
• Notebook string formatting upgraded to Python 3.6+ f-strings.

Changed

• Breaking change For anchor methods, the returned explanation field data['raw']['prediction'] is now batch-wise, i.e. for AnchorTabular and AnchorImage it is a 1-dimensional numpy array whilst for AnchorText it is a list of strings. This is in preparation for the eventual batch support for anchor methods.
• Removed dependency on prettyprinter and substituted with a slightly modified standard library version of PrettyPrinter. This is to prepare for a conda release which requires all dependencies to also be published on conda.
