0.1.2

==================

The following bugs are fixed in this release:

- Segmentation:

* A :class:`~fatf.utils.data.segmentation.Segmentation` object holds
incorrect segment count after manipulation (`39 <issue_39_>`_).
* :class:`~fatf.utils.data.segmentation.Slic` segmentation fails quietly by
not starting the segment count at 1.
(This issue appears to have been fixed in scikit-image 0.19.2 and higher.)

- Occlusion:

* `occlude_segments_vectorised`
(:class:`~fatf.utils.data.occlusion.Occlusion`) returns an occlusion
of incorrect shape if the input array is 2D with just one row
(`40 <issue_40_>`_).

0.1.1

==================

The following functionality is made available with this release:

+-------------+----------+----------------+---------------------+
| | Fairness | Accountability | Transparency |
+-------------+----------+----------------+---------------------+
| Data/ | | | |
| Features | | | |
+-------------+----------+----------------+---------------------+

| | | | Pick |
+-------------+----------+----------------+---------------------+
| Predictions | | | * Image bLIMEy |
| | | | (LIME-equivalent) |
+-------------+----------+----------------+---------------------+

This update focuses on surrogate *image* explainers for predictions of
crisp and probabilistic black-box classifiers.
In particular, it implements:

- Segmentation:

* Segmentation abstract class -- :class:`~fatf.utils.data.segmentation.\
Segmentation`.
* Slic segmentation -- :class:`~fatf.utils.data.segmentation.Slic`.
* QuickShift segmentation -- :class:`~fatf.utils.data.segmentation.\
QuickShift`.

- Occlusion:

* Generic image occlusion -- :class:`~fatf.utils.data.occlusion.Occlusion`.

- Sampling:

* Binary random sampling -- :func:`~fatf.utils.data.instance_augmentation.\
random_binary_sampler`.

- Incremental model processing:

* Batch-processing and -transforming data for predicting it with a model
-- :func:`~fatf.utils.models.processing.batch_data`.

- Surrogate image explainability:

* bLIMEy-based LIME surrogate image explainer -- :class:`~fatf.transparency.\
predictions.surrogate_image_explainers.ImageBlimeyLime`.

- Aggregation-based model explainability:

* Submodular pick -- :func:`~fatf.transparency.models.submodular_pick.\
submodular_pick`.

Additionally, this release moves away from Travis CI in favour of GitHub
Actions.

0.1.0

==================

The following functionality is made available with this release:

+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------+
| | Fairness | Accountability | Transparency |
+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------+
| Data/ | | | |
| Features | | | |
+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------+
| Models | | | |
+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------+
| Predictions | | | * Tabular bLIMEy |
| | | | for regression |
+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------+

This is an incremental update focused on surrogate explainers for black-box
regression:

* Surrogate explainers -- :class:`~fatf.transparency.predictions.\
surrogate_explainers.SurrogateTabularExplainer`, :class:`~fatf.transparency.\
predictions.surrogate_explainers.TabularBlimeyLime` and :class:`~fatf.\
transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers.TabularBlimeyTree` -- now
support black-box regression.
* :class:`~fatf.transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers.\
TabularBlimeyLime` now uses the correct feature selection approach.
* The surrogate explanation plotting function --
:func:`~fatf.vis.lime.plot_lime` -- has been cleaned.
* 2 new feature selection approaches have been implemented:
:func:`~fatf.utils.data.feature_selection.sklearn.highest_weights` and
:func:`~fatf.utils.data.feature_selection.sklearn.forward_selection`.
* LIME wrapper has been removed.
* Compatibility with `scikit-learn` newer than `0.21.x` has been added.

This release coincides with publication of a `paper <JOSS_paper_>`_
describing FAT Forensic in The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS).

==================

The following functionality is made available with this release:

+-------------+----------+----------------+------------------+

Included tutorials:

* :ref:`tutorials_prediction_explainability` (updated to use
:class:`fatf.transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers.TabularBlimeyLime`
instead of ``fatf.transparency.predictions.lime.Lime``).

Included how-to guides:

* :ref:`how_to_tabular_surrogates`.

Included code examples:

* :ref:`sphx_glr_sphinx_gallery_auto_transparency_xmpl_transparency_lime.py`
(updated to use
:class:`fatf.transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers.TabularBlimeyLime`
instead of ``fatf.transparency.predictions.lime.Lime``) and
* :ref:`sphx_glr_sphinx_gallery_auto_transparency_xmpl_transparency_tree.py`.

bLIMEy
------

This release adds support for custom surrogate explainers of tabular data
called **bLIMEy**. The two pre-made classes are available as part of the
:mod:`fatf.transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers` module:

* :class:`fatf.transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers.\
TabularBlimeyTree` and
* :class:`fatf.transparency.predictions.surrogate_explainers.\
TabularBlimeyLime`.

Since the latter class implements LIME from components available in FAT
Forensics, the LIME wrapper available under
``fatf.transparency.lime.Lime`` will be retired in release 0.0.3.

To facilitate building custom tabular surrogate explainers a range of
functionality has been implemented including: data discretisation, data
transformation, data augmentation, data point augmentation, distance
kernelisation, scikit-learn model tools, feature selection and surrogate model
evaluation.

Other Functionality
-------------------

Seeding of the random number generators via the :func:`fatf.setup_random_seed`
function can now be done by passing a parameter to this function (in addition
to using the ``FATF_SEED`` system variable).
