LIME

Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations. A technique that explains individual predictions by approximating a model's decision locally with an interpretable surrogate model.

In plain language

A technique that explains a single AI decision by building a simpler, understandable model around it. It's like asking, "For this one customer on this one date, what were the top three reasons the AI said no to their application?"

Why this matters

LIME is a practical governance tool for meeting explainability requirements and supporting individual-level accountability. It enables your organisation to provide decision-specific explanations to affected individuals, supporting compliance with transparency obligations and building trust in your AI systems.
