Allow multiple instances to explain/compute
mmschlk opened this issue · comments
Description
Add functionality to the package to allow for calculation of interactions for multiple instances/games to allow for the following scenario.
A user wants to put a 2d matrix of instances/games to explain into the explainer and expects interaction scores for each of those.
Potential Solutions
At the moment it is a bit unclear how to address this. Depending how deeply we integrate this will require more or less refactoring of the package. The two extremes of solutions are as follows:
- Lazy/Light Integration: We can abstract the 2d input away inside the explainer/approximators and just loop over the instances (potentially in parallel). This requires not much rework but will probably be not that efficient.
- Tight Integration: We can integrate the computations directly into our approximators (or explainers) by allowing the approximate method to accept a list of games instead of a single game. Then the approximate code needs to be adjusted. Parallelization under the hood inside the games/imputers can improve the performance even more.
This is an important issue that will be tackled at some point. It touches on the whole library.
