# Framework for the evaluation of XAI algorithms (XAIEV)

## Installation (work in progress)

- clone the repo
- `pip install -e .`
- ask the authors for the dataset


## Usage

### General Notes on Paths

Many scripts and notebooks in this repo depend on paths. To ensure that the code runs on different machines (local development machines, HPC, etc) we use a `.env` file. This file is machine-specific and is expected to define the necessary paths in environment variables.

Example (see also .env-example):

```.env
# Note: This directory might contain several GB of (auto-generated) data
XAIEV_BASE_DIR="/home/username/xaiev/data"
```

This file is evaluated by `utils.read_paths_from_dotenv()`. Note: The package `opencv-python` has to be installed (see `requirements.txt`)


The expected path structure is as follows:

```
<BASE_DIR>                      specified in .env file
├── atsds_large/
│   ├── test/
│   │   ├── 0001/               class directory

### Code Style

- We (aim to) use `black -l 110 ./` to ensure coding style consistency, see also: [code style black](https://github.com/psf/black).
- We recommend using [typing hints](https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cheat_sheet_py3.html)
