Interpretable machine learning is a technology that assists people understand the behavior and prediction of machine learning systems. This study proposes a visual analytics system that can interpret the relationship between how machine learning models relate output results from input data. It supports users to interpret machine learning models easily and clearly. The visual analytics system proposed in this study takes an approach to effectively interpret the machine learning model through an iterative adjustment procedure that filters and groups model decision results according to input variables, target variables, and predicted/classified values. Through use case analysis and in-depth user interviews, we confirmed that our system could provide insights into the complex behavior of machine learning models, gain scientific understanding of input variables, target variables, and model predictions, and help users understand the stability and reliability of models.
