Integrated Gradients

Integrated Gradients

Shows which parts of an image drove a model's prediction, using the integrated gradients method in a Gradio page, with an elephant photo to try. For machine learning learners and researchers.

About

What it is: Integrated Gradients is a Gradio app built around a model interpretability method of the same name. By its name it shows which parts of an input image pushed a model toward its prediction. The repository includes a sample picture, elephant.jpg, and no named model.

Who it suits: It suits machine learning learners and researchers who want to see how an explanation method works on an image, and developers who want a small Gradio example. The record gives no usage notes, so the page is the guide.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Research | Machine learning researchers | Inspect what an image model relied on | Run the elephant photo and view the highlighted areas
Education | Students | Learn what an attribution map shows | Compare the map with the original picture
Software | Python developers | Read a small interpretability demo in Gradio | Open app.py and requirements.txt

You can skip it if you need to explain a model you trained yourself, since the record names no model of its own to swap in.

Where to use it:

• A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face
• Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, from a downloaded copy

Use case | Who | What they get back
Explain an image prediction | Researchers | A view of which areas mattered to the model
Try the sample picture | Anyone | A quick sense of how the method looks
Reuse as a base | Developers | A small Gradio app for attribution maps

How to set it up:

• Nothing at all if you use the online Space
• Python on your computer, only if you run a copy
• The packages listed in requirements.txt

1. Open the Space's page in a browser to use it with nothing to install.
2. To run a copy, install the Hugging Face Hub package and download the Space.
3. Move into the new folder, then install Gradio and the listed requirements.
4. Start the app with Python.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download keras-io/integrated_gradients --repo-type space --local-dir integrated_gradients
cd integrated_gradients
pip install gradio
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

How to use it: Online, open the Space and use the controls on its page. On your own machine, run the main file from the Space folder, then use the page it serves. The elephant picture is the quickest way to try it.

python app.py

Example: You open the Space and give it the elephant photo or one of your own. The app returns the picture with the areas that mattered most to the prediction marked. The record shows no sample output, so the exact display depends on the page.

For newcomers and experts: Explainability means asking why a model gave an answer. For an image model, the answer is a map that lights up the areas it relied on. Start by opening the Space and running the elephant photo.

If you know the field, integrated gradients adds up a model's gradients along a path from a blank baseline image to the real one. That gives each pixel an attribution score. The record names no model or baseline, so read app.py for those choices.

You give the page an image
The app builds a path from a blank image to yours
Gradients along the path give pixel scores
The page shows the attribution map

Good to know:

• License: cc0-1, as listed on the Space
• Cost to run: none named
• Data it reaches: the pictures you give it and the sample elephant photo
• Not for: the record names no exclusions, and it names no model of its own
