# Seldon Core Release 0.4.1 A summary of the main contributions to the [Seldon Core release 0.4.1](https://github.com/SeldonIO/seldon-core/releases/tag/v0.4.1). ## Black Box Model Explanations By utlizing Seldon's open source Model Explanation library [Alibi](https://github.com/SeldonIO/alibi) we provide the ability to launch a model and an associated explainer for that model. At present we support the [Anchors](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~marcotcr/aaai18.pdf) explanation technique for tabular text and image examples. An example SeldonDeployment for an image model with associated explainer is shown below: ``` apiVersion: machinelearning.seldon.io/v1alpha2 kind: SeldonDeployment metadata: name: image spec: annotations: seldon.io/rest-read-timeout: "10000000" seldon.io/grpc-read-timeout: "10000000" seldon.io/grpc-max-message-size: "1000000000" name: image predictors: - graph: children: [] implementation: TENSORFLOW_SERVER modelUri: gs://seldon-models/tfserving/imagenet/model name: classifier endpoint: type: GRPC parameters: - name: model_name type: STRING value: classifier - name: model_input type: STRING value: input_image - name: model_output type: STRING value: predictions/Softmax:0 engineResources: requests: memory: 1Gi explainer: type: anchor_images modelUri: gs://seldon-models/tfserving/imagenet/explainer name: default replicas: 1 ``` The Tensorflow model has a `anchor_images` explainer associated with it. An example input showing a persian cat along with an example explanation for that image showing the segment of the image the model focused on for providing the classifcation result can be seen below. ![cat](../analytics/cat.png) ![cat-explanation](../analytics/cat_explanation.png) We provide [an example notebook with tabular, text and image model examples](../examples/explainer_examples.html). ## Misc. Updates * [Chainer Example](../examples/chainer_mnist.html) * We now use [Jenkins X](https://jenkins.io/projects/jenkins-x/) as our project CICD platform. * We are available on the [RedHat Container Catalog](https://access.redhat.com/containers/?tab=overview#/registry.connect.redhat.com/seldonio/seldon-operator-0-4-0). Update to 0.4.1 soon.
