Evaluate with model insights

Model insights help to interpret, explain, and validate what drives a model’s predictions. Using these tools can help to assess what to do in your next experiment. Available insights are dependent on experiment type as well as the experiment view (single versus comparison). Click on a model from the Model Leaderboard to access insights.

Available insights

To see a model's insights, click on the model in the left-pane Leaderboard—the Model Overview opens. From here, all available experiment insights are available, grouped by purpose and answering:

  • Explanations: What did the model learn?
  • Performance: How good is the model?
  • Details: How was the model built?
  • Artifacts: What are the assets from the model?

Use search to filter insights by name and/or description. The results also mark which group the insight belongs to.

Note that different insights are available for predictive and time-aware experiments, as noted in the table.
