Sliceline

Sliceline is a Python library for fast slice finding for Machine Learning model debugging.

It is an implementation of SliceLine: Fast, Linear-Algebra-based Slice Finding for ML Model Debugging <https://mboehm7.github.io/resources/sigmod2021b_sliceline.pdf>__, from Svetlana Sagadeeva and Matthias Boehm of Graz University of Technology.

👉 Getting started

Given an input dataset X and a model error vector errors, SliceLine finds the top slices in X that identify where a ML model performs significantly worse.

You can use sliceline as follows:

.. code:: python

from sliceline.slicefinder import Slicefinder

slice_finder = Slicefinder()

slice_finder.fit(X, errors)

print(slice_finder.top_slices_)

X_trans = slice_finder.transform(X)

We invite you to check the demo notebooks <https://github.com/DataDome/sliceline/blob/main/notebooks>__ for a more thorough tutorial:

• Implementing Sliceline on Titanic dataset
• Implementing Sliceline on California housing dataset

🛠 Installation

Sliceline is intended to work with Python 3.10 or above. Installation can be done with pip:

.. code:: sh

pip install sliceline

There are wheels available <https://pypi.org/project/sliceline/#files>__ for Linux, MacOS, and Windows, which means that you most probably won’t have to build Sliceline from source.

You can install the latest development version from GitHub as so:

.. code:: sh

pip install git+https://github.com/DataDome/sliceline --upgrade

Or, through SSH:

.. code:: sh

pip install git+ssh://[e-mail]/datadome/sliceline.git --upgrade
