Getting started with SHAP

In this section, we will first install SHAP. This version of SHAP includes algorithms and visualizations. The programs come mainly from Su-In Lee's lab at the University of Washington and Microsoft Research.

Once we have installed SHAP, we will import the data, split the datasets, and build a data interception function to target specific features.

Let's start by installing SHAP.

Open SHAP_IMDB.ipynb in Google Colaboratory. We will be using this notebook throughout this chapter.

Installing SHAP

You can install SHAP with one line of code:

# @title SHAP installation
!pip install shap

However, if you restart Colaboratory, you might lose this installation. You can verify if SHAP is installed with the following code:

# @title SHAP installation
try:
  import shap
except:
  !pip install shap

Next, we will import the modules we will be using.

Importing the modules

Each module has a specific prerequisite...
