Feature Interpretability

Get feature importance by conducting a Permutation-Shuffling test in AutoGluon. Shuffle one feature column, test how this effects prediction accuracy. The higher the effect the higher the features / columns importance. Negative effects show features that confuse the model, decrease the prediction accuracy and should be removed.

# add test dataset that must include the classifier (is_cancelled):

Inference Constraints

The WeightedEnsemble_L2 model - which is an ensemble of different models used by AutoGluon - has the highest test accuracy but also takes by far the longest to return predictions. The 'non-ensembled' model ExtraTreesMSE is not that far off when it comes to accuracy but more than twice as fast with predictions. We can set a restraint how much time is acceptable to remove 'slow' models from the created weighted ensemble model.

fast_predictor = TabularPredictor(label='fare_amount', path='model_fast')
fast_predictor.fit(train_data, time_limit=30, infer_limit=0.000004, infer_limit_batch_size=10000)
