Feature Request: Importance scores for Models

[madprogramer]

In addition to prediction endpoints generated by the vetiver_api() call, is there any interest in adding support for vip and shapviz functions for explainable AI?

Thanks for your patience on this @madprogramer! Our current approach for this is to make it as approachable as possible to extend vetiver with customized endpoints.

I have a demo here that shows how to:

• store fairness metrics as model metadata
• serve an explainability score at a new customized endpoint (using DALEXtra)

We also have some materials on adding a new customized endpoint from our workshop at posit::conf last year. Check out:

• slides starting here
• example classwork here
