This PR splits the
Explainerclass into aBaseandExplainer.The
Baseclass currently implements a structured approach to handle metadata (to be extended). This split allows us to introduce other base classes for new packages that do not conform to theExplainerinterface. For example, algorithms for prototype selection are not explainers. Calling theexplainmethod when, in fact, they are summarizing/distilling the dataset is not appropriate. Furthermore, functionalities such as saving and loading might expect other arguments, and resetting the prediction might not apply.Possible to be used for the
confidencepackage too.Observation. The functionality of the
Explanationclass is already quite general and works for all packages. Changing the name to something more general would involve a lot of refactoring, which we don’t want to do, at least for now.
