InterpretML Dashboard What-if-datapoints not available for perturbation

[amir78pgd]

As per your sample video on the github site - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwBeKMQ0-I8&ab_channel=MicrosoftDeveloper perturbation points should be available in the last tab of the dashboard (What-if datapoint). I've attached a screenshot of the video that shows the option to perturb the points.

But when I'm trying to create a similar notebook in Colab I get the dashboard but I do not get the option to perturb the datapoints. I've attached the screenshot for this case also.

Please advise why am I not getting the option to perturb the datapoints ?

Hi @amir78pgd --

This appears to be a question that's better suited for the interpret-community repo. Transferring it there so they can help you.

@amir78pgd sorry, yes, what if analysis and ICE plots are disabled on some compute environments, because it requires the UX to make a request to the flask service running in the backend, which isn't even possible in some cases (eg Azure DataBricks). We should probably investigate if this is possible in Colab and what would be necessary to enable it there. This functionality should work in your local environment though.

@imatiach-msft thanks for your reply. I had tried doing the same task in Jupyter but its a real pain as I keep getting numerous errors for not having various packages of Microsoft Visual Studio 14. So I gave up on Jupyter long ago and reverted to Colab.
