  • Patent number: 11960981
    Abstract: Systems and methods for model evaluation. A model is evaluated by performing a decomposition process for a model output, relative to a baseline input data set.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240112209
    Abstract: Systems and methods for model evaluation. A protected class model that satisfies an accuracy threshold is built by using: data sets for use by a modeling system being evaluated, and protected class membership information for each data set. A target for the protected class model is a protected class membership variable indicating membership in a protected class. Each predictor of the protected class model is a predictor of an evaluated model used by the modeling system. A target of the evaluated model is different from the target of the protected class model. Each predictor is a set of one or more variables of the data sets. For each predictor of the protected class model, a protected class model impact ranking value and a modeling system impact ranking value are determined.

  • Publication number: 20220343197
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating explanation information for a result of an application system. Explanation configuration is generated based on received user input. Responsive to an explanation generation event, a plurality of modified input variable value sets are generated for a first applicant by using the explanation configuration. For each modified input variable value set: a request is provided to a first application system for generation of a result for the modified input variable value set, and a result is received for the modified input variable value set. At least one input variable value is selected based on a comparison between a first result of a first input variable value set of the first applicant and results for the modified input variable value set. Explanation information is generated for the first result by using human-readable description information for each selected input variable value, in accordance with the explanation configuration.
