Use Responsible AI scorecard (preview) in Azure Machine Learning
APPLIES TO:
Azure CLI ml extension v2 (current)
Python SDK azure-ai-ml v2 (current)
An Azure Machine Learning Responsible AI scorecard is a PDF report that's generated based on Responsible AI dashboard insights and customizations to accompany your machine learning models. You can easily configure, download, and share your PDF scorecard with your technical and non-technical stakeholders to educate them about your data and model health and compliance, and to help build trust. You can also use the scorecard in audit reviews to inform the stakeholders about the characteristics of your model.
Important
This feature is currently in public preview. This preview version is provided without a service-level agreement, and we don't recommend it for production workloads. Certain features might not be supported or might have constrained capabilities.
For more information, see Supplemental Terms of Use for Azure Previews.
Where to find your Responsible AI scorecard
Responsible AI scorecards are linked to your Responsible AI dashboards. To view your Responsible AI scorecard, go into your model registry by selecting the Model in Azure Machine Learning studio. Then select the registered model that you've generated a Responsible AI dashboard and scorecard for. After you've selected your model, select the Responsible AI tab to view a list of generated dashboards. Select which dashboard you want to export a Responsible AI scorecard PDF for by selecting Responsible AI Insights then **View all PDF scorecards.
Select Responsible AI scorecard (preview) to display a list of all Responsible AI scorecards that are generated for this dashboard.
In the list, select the scorecard you want to download, and then select Download to download the PDF to your machine.
How to read your Responsible AI scorecard
The Responsible AI scorecard is a PDF summary of key insights from your Responsible AI dashboard. The first summary segment of the scorecard gives you an overview of the machine learning model and the key target values you've set to help your stakeholders determine whether the model is ready to be deployed:
The data analysis segment shows you characteristics of your data, because any model story is incomplete without a correct understanding of your data:
The model performance segment displays your model's most important metrics and characteristics of your predictions and how well they satisfy your desired target values:
Next, you can also view the top performing and worst performing data cohorts and subgroups that are automatically extracted for you to see the blind spots of your model:
You can see the top important factors that affect your model predictions, which is a requirement to build trust with how your model is performing its task:
You can further see your model fairness insights summarized and inspect how well your model is satisfying the fairness target values you've set for your desired sensitive groups:
Finally, you can see your dataset's causal insights summarized, which can help you determine whether your identified factors or treatments have any causal effect on the real-world outcome:
