Azimuth, an open-source dataset and error analysis tool for text classification, with love from ServiceNow.

Overview

Azimuth is an open source application that helps AI practitioners and data scientists better understand their dataset and model predictions by performing thorough dataset and error analyses. The application leverages different tools, including robustness tests, semantic similarity analysis and saliency maps, unified by concepts such as smart tags and proposed actions. It currently only supports text classification use cases.

Live Demo

Play with Azimuth on CLINC-OOS and a DistilBert model with a live demo.
