Practical overview
When it fits
Use the toolbox when a team needs to investigate model or data behavior through connected assessment views, especially when diagnosing errors, fairness concerns, data imbalance or individual predictions.
Who it is for
- Developers assessing or debugging AI models
- Stakeholders who need to investigate model behavior and the data behind decisions
- Teams examining fairness issues, errors, data balance or possible counterfactual outcomes
Documented uses
- Identify model errors and investigate patterns in the underlying data.
- Examine fairness issues alongside data distributions.
- Explore how changes to an individual case could produce a different model prediction.
- Investigate whether data imbalance or limited cohort representation may contribute to errors or fairness issues.
- Use interpretability and causal-inference views to examine model factors and their relationship to outcomes.
Requirements & limits
The README documents installing the widgets as a Python package with pip and gives a Jupyter-specific instruction to restart the kernel after installation.
- The documented installation is for the
raiwidgetsPython package. - Model overview, including fairness analysis, and data explorer components are activated by default.
- The README presents the dashboard as customizable, with example flows linking assessment and investigation components.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the Responsible AI Toolbox widgets
Install the Python package documented for the toolbox widgets.
Before you start
- Python package installation with pip
- If using Jupyter, access to restart the kernel after installation
Steps
Run the command below.
pip install raiwidgetsIf running in Jupyter, restart the Jupyter kernel after installation.
Expected outcome
The README's documented installation stage for the Responsible AI Toolbox widgets is complete.
Guide limitations
- The cited instructions cover installation only, not loading data, configuring a model, or running an assessment.
