Term
Anchors (ˈæŋ-kərs)
Definition
Anchors are rules used in AI to explain why a model makes certain decisions or predictions. They identify and highlight the key factors influencing these outcomes.
Where you’ll find it
Anchors are typically located in the interpretability or explanation sections of an AI platform. They may be accessible through panels or menus dedicated to understanding AI decisions.
Common use cases
- Determining why an AI model made a specific prediction
- Improving the transparency of machine learning algorithms
- Assisting in the debugging and refinement of AI models
Things to watch out for
- Risk of overfitting if anchors become too complex
- Not all features highlighted by anchors may be equally important
- Anchors should be used as part of a broader interpretability strategy
Related terms

Pixelhaze Tip: To get the most out of anchors, use them in combination with other interpretability tools. This helps provide a more rounded understanding of your AI's decision-making processes and ensures you’re not relying solely on one method.
