AryaXAI's ML Explainability toolkit allows you to easily explain your models using multiple methods, such as highlighting feature impact, observations, and similar cases.
The sophistication and complexity of AI systems have evolved to the extent that they are difficult for humans to comprehend. Understanding the model's decision-making process and identifying any biases is crucial from both a regulatory and model-building perspective. Business users require a clear understanding of the model's operations and validation before using it in production.
Ensure your models work as you truly intend with AryaXAI.
AryaXAI offers multiple methods for XAI:
- Feature importance using 'Backtrace': For Deep Learning (Local & Global)
- Feature importance using 'SHAPE'. (Global & Local)
- Decisioning path visualization (for tree based models) (Global & Local)
- Observations as explanations (Local)
- Similar cases (Local)
Feature importance
Feature importance is one of the standard ways used in Machine learning (ML) explainability to understand the contribution of each input feature in making predictions. It provides a very high-level overview of how the features are used by the model to arrive at the prediction output and also debug the issues in the model.
By examining feature importance, users can identify which variables are most influential in the model's decision-making process. This insight aids in understanding the model's behavior, identifying potential biases, and improving overall interpretability and trustworthiness.
AryaXAI offers feature importance analysis at two levels:
- Global Feature importance: This assessment evaluates the significance of each feature across an entire dataset or project. It provides a comprehensive understanding of how various features contribute to the model's predictions or outcomes on a broader scale.
- Local explanations (At case-level): Focuses on evaluating the significance of features for individual predictions or instances within the dataset. It provides insights into how specific features contribute to the model's decision-making for each case or prediction outcome. This analysis is more granular, identifying the relative importance of features for particular instances, allowing for the understanding of how the model utilizes different features to arrive at predictions on a case-by-case basis.
AryaXAI uses the feature defined in the data settings and creates an XAI model to derive feature importance. In the developer version, the first uploaded file serves as the training data for building the XAI model. However, in the AryaXAI enterprise version, the model can be directly utilized to construct the XAI model.
Following the model's training phase, before synthetic data generation, AryaXAI offers a feature called 'Prompting' that allows you to establish specific conditions for the data generation process.
Through GUI
To create a new prompt, go to the 'Prompting' tab in Synthetic AI. Select the 'Create Prompt' button on the right.
Navigate to the 'Prompting' tab within Synthetic AI and click the 'Create Prompt' button located on the right.
Fill in the Prompt name and specify features while setting conditional operators.
Add the Feature value as required, then save the prompt.
The created prompt will appear in the Prompting tab, displaying its name, creation and update details, and status. Here, you can deactivate or delete the prompt. An 'Active' status indicates that the conditions specified in the prompt will be applied during the generation of new synthetic data.

Given the prevalence of bias and vulnerabilities in ML models, understanding a model's operations is crucial before its deployment to production. Generally, a model is said to demonstrate bias if its decisions unfairly impact a protected group without justifiable reasons.
AryaXAI's bias monitoring functionality detects potential bias in a model's output. The platform also provides analytical and reporting capabilities that can help determine whether the bias is justified.
Through GUI
To monitor your model for bias with AryaXAI:
Select the Baseline tag
Select the Baseline true and predicted labels
Select the model type and date feature name
Select the feature to use from the dropdown
Dashboard Logs
Any new dashboard created for Bias monitoring will be listed in the Dashboard Logs, where you can view details such as the baseline and associated tags, the creation date and name of the dashboard, the owner, etc. In the Actions column, you have options to expand or collapse the dashboard to view or hide detailed information, configure alerts based on the specific dashboard configuration, or delete the dashboard from the logs.
Note: The detailed dashboard in the Actions column will only be visible if the status shows as ‘Completed’. If the status shows ‘Failed’ the reason will be specified in the ‘Error’ column.
For all the logs listed here, users can configure automatic alerts based on the dashboard log. This option is available in the 'Alerts' column.
Through SDK
Monitor bias in your models through the AryaXAI python package:
Target drift refers to changes in the distribution of the target variable over time, which can affect the performance of machine learning models.
Basic concepts:
Baseline: Users can define the baseline basis on ‘Tag’ or segment of data based on ‘date’.
Frequency: Users can define how frequently they want to calculate the monitoring metrics
Alerts frequency: Users can configure how frequently they want to be notified about the alerts
Through GUI
Target Drift dashboard creation shares similar inputs with 'Data Drift'. However, unlike 'Data Drift', you must specify the Baseline and Current data parameters, along with the True label, predicted label, and the model type. You also need to select the compute option based on the specific server requirements for the data drift monitor.
Drift Metrics: These statistical tests are available to analyze data drifts, namely the Chi-square test, Jensen-Shannon distance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test, Population Stability index (Psi), and Z-test.
Available Stat tests:
You can learn more about these tests in our wiki section.
Selecting dates: If you are selecting the dates, then the entire data under that tag will be used for calculating the drift. When you are selecting the date variable, ensure that there is data within these dates.
Mixing multiple tags: If you want to merge data from different tags, you can simply select multiple tags in the segment(baseline/current).
Alerts and Monitors
From here you can easily create and view customized alerts for Data drift, target drift and model performance through the alerts dashboard. For this, select ‘Create alerts' in the 'Monitors' tab and define the baseline and current data parameters like we did above and set the frequency of alerts, which can be daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly.
To create new alerts, go to:
ML Monitoring (Main menu on left) > select ‘Monitoring’ (from the sub-tabs) > click ‘Create Alerts’
All the newly created and existing alerts are displayed on this dashboard, along with details of trigger creator, name, type and options.

Through SDK
You can also set up Data drift monitoring and diagnosis through AryaXAI Python SDK. To fetch the default dashboard, you don't need to pass any payload, but to create a new one, you need to pass the following parameters:
In Machine Learning, it's not enough to test our models thoroughly after training them. When these models start working in real-world situations, they deal with new data that they weren't trained on, and their performance inevitably deteriorates over time.
The significance of ML monitoring lies in ensuring the accuracy and consistency necessary for successful machine learning implementation. Model monitoring serves to identify issues such as data drift, negative feedback loops, and model inaccuracy, among others.
Monitoring is a way to track the performance of the model in production. This makes each version of your machine learning model more precise than the previous version, thus, delivering the best results.
With AryaXAI, you can continuously evaluate your models to maintain their accuracy and prevent errors in data processing.
For model creation and management, you have two options in AryaXAI:
1. Build models through AutoML feature in AryaXAI, or
2. Upload your own models
Uploading custom models
This can be done through: Projects> Data settings > Model upload.
When uploading own models, users need to:
Define the model name: Provide a name for your model.
Specify Model Architecture: Indicate whether the model is based on machine learning or deep learning (deep learning support is coming soon).
Specify Training and Testing Data: Provide the datasets to be used for training and testing the model.
Note: Ensure that all features used in your model are presented in the data you have uploaded ie; data points in the model and uploaded file need to be the same
Note: If the training and testing data are not provided, AryaXAI will automatically select a random sub-sample from the training data to use as testing data. This allows AryaXAI to benchmark your uploaded model against a subset of the training data.
Build models
For detailed instructions, refer to the AutoML section in the documentation.
Upon accessing the project dashboard, your initial task is to upload pertinent data sets. These may encompass data utilized for training, testing, validation, production, or any other data integral to your project's scope and requirements.
Note: During the initial data upload process, whether through the dashboard interface or API integration, it is imperative to begin by uploading at least one sample dataset from the dashboard. Subsequently, users can proceed to define the requisite data settings. Additional datasets may also be uploaded seamlessly via the API following this initial setup.
To initiate the data upload process, begin by selecting the upload type from the dropdown menu, which offers the options of 'Data', 'Data Description' and ‘Feature mapping’. In Data description, users can add description for the data columns.
For data uploads, it's necessary to specify the 'Upload Tag' from the dropdown, where you can specify the data type - Training, Testing, Validation, or you can choose to add a custom tag as well.
Note: You can only upload one file at a time, and the file can only be in CSV format.
Users have the flexibility to upload files either by dragging and dropping them or by selecting the CSV file for uploading directly. After adding the file, proceed by selecting the 'Upload File' option to initiate the upload process.
Note: CSV files are limited to 200 MB for default server and 1 GB for custom server on workspace/ project
Tip: When uploading data, if you receive an error message stating that the file already exists, navigate to the 'File Info' section and delete the existing file, if the processing is not completed.
Once the upload is complete, you will be directed to ‘Data Config’ to configure the details.
Data Config.
Data Configuration serves as the foundational framework encompassing crucial high-level details essential for all subsequent operations within the project, and cannot be changed once set.
Begin by specifying the project type, which may involve either classification or regression tasks
Define the ‘Unique identifier’ - Assign a unique identifier to each data point within the dataset. This identifier distinguishes individual data entries and aids in data management and analysis.
Select the true label - Identify the true label, which represents the target variable to be predicted. For instance, in a real estate dataset, the true label could denote the 'Sale Price' of a property.
If applicable, choose the predicted label from the provided dropdown menu. This step is important when evaluating predictions generated by an existing model.
Feature Exclusion: Select features (data points) to be excluded. There might be multiple features within your project. You can exclude the features that might not be relevant to your project from the ‘Features exclude’ option. You can see all the features included and excluded on the right.
There might be multiple features within your project. You can exclude the features that might not be relevant to your project from the ‘Features exclude’ option. You can see all the features included and excluded on the right.
Note: Your data can have some duplicate unique identifiers, which can be dropped by selecting the checkbox.
True and Predicated label
The predicted label is essential if you intend for the XAI model to explain the predictions generated by your model. If the predicted label is not explicitly defined, AryaXAI will automatically select the true label to construct the XAI model.
Note: When defining data features, specifically the data settings, it should be noted that these settings serve as the foundation for training the explainable model. The feature selection conducted during this stage should closely align with the final set of features utilized in your model. This alignment ensures consistency and accuracy in the interpretability analysis provided by AryaXAI.
The ‘Features’ section displays the data type. The platform starts analyzing the data and creates an explainability model for you.
Note: Until the XAI model is not trained, the explanations (Feature importance) will show ‘nan’ as the values, you can upload any new file or open case view pages. Once the model is trained, the XAI model results can be seen in all these pages.
Once you submit the Data Config, you will be directed to the 'Project Summary' page, which is your project homepage. This page displays 3 tabs - Summary, Data Diagnostics and Model Diagnostics.
Summary
The Summary tab displays:
Total data volume and Unique features
Overview of data uploaded, which you can filter based on tag
Volume graph, offering a comprehensive overview of data upload activity over time. Users can delve into various parameters to plot data activity conveniently. These parameters include User tag, Feature name, date feature name, range, and plot type, for writing codes with ease.
Model Info
Data diagnostics
Once you upload data, AryaXAI automatically performs a comprehensive analysis of the added datasets for your initial file. This analysis includes data profiling, data modeling, and explainability. You can easily perform these tasks manually at a later stage if needed.
Selecting the 'Refresh Data' tab located at the top right corner of the interface invokes the data profiling task. This will display a dropdown menu where you can select the desired compute server. After choosing the appropriate compute server, click to refresh your data.
Within the Data Diagnostics tab, the Data Summary table offers an overview of the total data volume and unique features.
The Data Warning section highlights any inconsistencies detected in the uploaded analytical data. These warnings encompass various issues, including missing data, high feature correlation, high cardinality, and more.
Model Performance
This section displays a benchmarking for the different models you have created.
The ‘Model stability’ table in the Model performance tab displays the same model details as seen in the AutoML section. This section displays the performance of all models that are currently in production or staged for production.
In the 'Data Stability' section, users can assess data drift between two models for a comprehensive overview. After uploading your initial training data, if you upload a second file containing test data, a data drift report will be automatically generated. This report provides insights into the differences and stability between the training and test datasets.
By selecting the Baseline and Current tags, users can conduct a detailed comparison, which includes features, detected drift, method, feature type, drift score, and more.
Data Settings
In the data settings section, there are four tabs - Upload data, Model upload, File info, and Data settings. Here, users can upload, delete and manage the uploaded data files efficiently.
Data upload
Users can upload data from this section as well. When defining data features, specifically the data settings, it should be noted that these become the base for explainable model training. Therefore, the feature selection process should align with the final features employed in the model.
Model upload
When uploading own models, users need to:
Define the model name: Provide a name for your model.
Specify Model Architecture: Indicate whether the model is based on machine learning or deep learning (deep learning support is coming soon).
Specify Training and Testing Data: Provide the datasets to be used for training and testing the model.
Note: If the training and testing data are not provided, AryaXAI will automatically select a random sub-sample from the training data to use as testing data. This allows AryaXAI to benchmark your uploaded model against a subset of the training data.
Note: Ensure that all features used in your model are presented in the data you upload ie; data points in the model and uploaded file need to be the same
For details on Uploading and creating models, refer to Modeling section.
File Info
The File Info tab presents a comprehensive list of uploaded files, including additional upload details such as the user responsible for the upload, data file type, tag, creation date and time. Users can also delete uploaded files directly from this tab.
Data settings
The Data settings tab showcases the data configuration details set while uploading the data. Here, users can see details like base model being used, features used and excluded in the project, etc.
To modify the data settings, select the ‘Update config’ option present in ‘Data settings’. Whenever the settings are modified, the explainability model is retrained again.
Data addition from API
First, Get the API Token for the Project. This is accessible at Workspace > Projects > Documentation.
The project token (and Client Id) is accessible only to the Admins of the particular project. You can refresh your API token through the ‘Refresh token’ option provided beside the Client Id.
Below this, the project URL for uploading the data is displayed. The Python script is present, which can be used directly in your compiler.
The header XAI token needs to be defined, whereas the Client Id and project name are automatically defined.
Next, prepare Data in Format of Dictionary (you can upload multiple data points in the list of dictionary format)
Define the unique identifier for the data:
"unique_identifier":
A single data set can be passed in string format. If multiple data sets are uploaded, you need to pass a list of unique identifiers.
Similarly, a single data point (with one unique identifier and 3-4 columns) can be directly passed through the API. However, for multiple data points, a list of unique identifiers and column needs to be created.
For every post request, data successful responses and acknowledgements are provided, so you are updated on the status.
Data addition from SDK
To upload data, we need to pass the file path and Tag.
Note: If you are uploading data for the first time, you need to pass Config as well.
Data can be uploaded to the project either directly with a file or by passing the Pandas DataFrame.
To configure the details in ‘Project config’ and upload data through our SDK, you can use the following commands:
config = {
"project_type": "classification", # The Prediction Type of your project (classification / regression)
"unique_identifier": "Id", # unique identifier for your project
"true_label": "SaleCondition", # Target label
"pred_label": "", # Predicted value in case you have it
"feature_exclude": [], # feature you don't want Arya Xai surrogate model to use for modelling
}
# Data is diffrentiated using Tag
Tag = 'Training' # Data is diffrentiated using Tag
#To upload the data into the project. This will also build the initial ML model.
project.upload_data('file_path','tag', config)
Once the data is uploaded, you can also view the files, and file info through SDK.
#Check the files that are uploaded in the project.
project.files()
Additional functions:
#You can get the summary for the specific file: Missing values, Max/Min, Data type.
project.file_summary()
#To know all the settings: Data, Data Encoding & Model params
project.config()
project.all_tags()
Additionally, you can also delete the uploaded file:
#project.delete_file('file_name')
To fetch all tags which user has uploaded:
project.tags()
SDK operations: Data Summary and Diagnostics
Accessing the Data Summary table:
To view the summary of data features and the data types through SDK:

Additionally, users can scale up or down as project or task needs change, ensuring optimal resource utilization.
These features allow AryaXAI users to efficiently manage computational resources, ensuring that projects run smoothly and effectively, without unnecessary delays or resource wastage.
Once configured, the custom server becomes the default for all subsequent operations. Servers can be managed by workspace Admins and Managers via the 'workspace settings' option.
Automating Server Boot and Shutdown
When using a custom server, users have the option to automate the server boot and shutdown at both the workspace and project levels. To enable this feature, select the settings icon for the desired project or workspace. Then, navigate to the 'Workspace server settings' section and set the server start and stop times.
Additionally, users can choose to auto-shut down the server in case of inactivity. Specify the number of hours of inactivity after which the server will automatically shut down.
These functionalities are also available in the AryaXAI SDK
When a user joins AryaXAI, they start with their personal organization by default.
In this personal organization, users cannot add new users to the organization itself. However, they can invite others to collaborate within a specific workspace or project.
In a shared organization, you have the ability to add other users and share workspaces or projects.
However, to add a user in a project or workspace, they must first have access to the organization containing the workspace or project.
You can create up to five organizations in AryaXAI, each capable of hosting multiple workspaces. Overall usage is tracked at the organization level based on your subscription plan.
To create a new organization or switch between existing ones, use the 'Switch organization' option in the dropdown menu of your profile in the top right corner.
Manage and invite Team Members in organization
To add team members to your shared organization, follow these steps:
Select the ‘Organization settings’ option from the main menu on the left
Navigate to the ‘Team’ tab
Enter the email address of the team member and select ‘Send Invite’
This page also provides users with a dashboard view of new and existing team members within your organization. From this page, you can configure usage control, manage access to custom and batch servers, hand over admin controls, or also remove users from the organization.
Note: There can be only one owner for a Organization
Note: Organization access overrides the workspace and project access. For instance, if a user is granted 'Admin' access at the organization level and 'Member' access at the workspace level, the 'Owner' access prevails over the 'Member' access.
Workspace
On accessing the platform, you can either set up a new workspace or access an existing workspace.
Creating a workspace
To create a new workspace, navigate to the ‘Create workspace’ on the dashboard. Provide a name for the workspace and select the machine you want to run your remote environment on. Once submitted, the newly created workspace will be displayed on the dashboard, featuring details such as the workspace owner, creation date, time and the people who have access to the workspace.
The three dots on the top right right corner of the specific workspace provide additional options to invite and manage team members, modify workspace settings and also to delete the workspace.
Workspace Settings
The workspace settings section provides the ‘Profile settings’ tab where you can rename or delete the workspace, and the ‘Workspace Server settings’ where you can change the machine you are runnig your remote environment on.
Members tab displays the list of all the members within the particular workspace. This list shows all the users you have invited to the workspace and the status of their invitations.
You can also invite/ add users in the workspace through the ‘Invite Member’ option. Once added to a workspace, the user will have access to all projects within the workspace. You can however, control the level of access they can have by defining their role for the workspace. The role can either be of an Owner, User or Manager. Each role has specific use access criteria as defined below. You can also modify the user role or revoke access through the workspace settings.
User role wise accessibility criteria:

Sign up and log in to AryaXAI using the steps mentioned above.
After logging in, generate an Access Token for your user account. You can find this option in the profile dropdown menu at the top right corner of AryaXAI dashboard.
Accessing the SDK token
Set the environment variables ‘XAI_ACCESS_TOKEN’ with the generated value.
You can create multiple tokens from here.
Note: The SDK Access Token is unique and is linked to your User ID, not the Organization ID.
Once you've completed these steps, you're all set! Now, you can easily log in and start using the AryaXAI SDK:
Log in by importing the "xai" object instance from the "arya_xai" package.
Call the "login" method. This method automatically takes the access token value from the "XAI_ACCESS_TOKEN" environment variable and stores the JWT in the object instance. This means that all your future SDK operations will be authorized automatically, making it simple and hassle-free!
NOTE: The creation of tokens is limited to a maximum of five per user. Furthermore, each token can only be used in a single instance at any given time.

Introducing AryaXAI
With AryaXAI, Data science and ML teams can monitor their models in production as well as gain reliable & accurate explainability,
AryaXAI offers reliable & accurate explainability, offering evidence that can support regulatory diligence, managing AI uncertainty by providing advanced policy controls and ensuring consistency in production by monitoring data or model drift and alerting users with root cause analysis.
AryaXAI also acts as a common workflow and provides insights acceptable by all stakeholders - Data Science, IT, Risk, Operations and compliance teams, making the rollout and maintenance of AI/ML models seamless and clutter-free.
AI and ML technologies have found their way into core processes of industries like financial services, healthcare, education, etc. Even with multiple use cases already in play, the opportunities with AI are unparalleled and its potential is far from exhausted.
However, with increasing use of AI and ML among AI-driven organizations, ML engineers and decision makers who rely on AI outcomes, are now faced with explaining and justifying the decisions by AI models. Decisions have already been made, with the formation of various regulatory compliance and accountability systems, legal frameworks, requirements of Ethics and Trustworthiness. Ultimately, an AI model will be deemed trustworthy only if its decisions are explainable, comprehensible and reliable.
Today, multiple methods make it possible to understand these complex systems, but they come with several challenges to be considered.
While ‘intelligence’ is the primary deliverable of AI, ‘Explainability’ has become the fundamental need of a product. It helps to serve important purposes like:
Accountability
Trust and transparency
Better Model Pruning
Better AI controls
Arya.ai has innovated a state-of-the-art framework, ‘AryaXAI’ to offer transparency, control and Interpretability on Deep learning models. In this documentation, we will explores the explainability imperative, tangible business benefits of XAI, overview and challenges with current methods, and details on the functioning of AryaXAI framework.
