# TokenSHAP: Implementing the Paper with Monte Carlo Shapley Value Estimation

TokenSHAP is a Python library designed to implement the method described in the paper "TokenSHAP: Interpreting Large Language Models with Monte Carlo Shapley Value Estimation" (Goldshmidt & Horovicz, 2024). This package introduces a novel approach for interpreting large language models (LLMs) by estimating Shapley values for individual tokens, providing insights into how specific parts of the input contribute to the model’s decisions.

TokenSHAP offers a novel method for interpreting large language models (LLMs) using Monte Carlo Shapley value estimation. This Python library attributes importance to individual tokens within input prompts, enhancing our understanding of model decisions. By leveraging concepts from cooperative game theory adapted to the dynamic nature of natural language, TokenSHAP facilitates a deeper insight into how different parts of an input contribute to the model's response.

## About TokenSHAP

The method introduces an efficient way to estimate the importance of tokens based on Shapley values, providing interpretable, quantitative measures of token importance. It addresses the combinatorial complexity of language inputs and demonstrates efficacy across various prompts and LLM architectures. TokenSHAP represents a significant advancement in making AI more transparent and trustworthy, particularly in critical applications such as healthcare diagnostics, legal analysis, and automated decision-making systems.

## Prerequisites

Before installing TokenSHAP, you need to have Ollama deployed and running. Ollama is required for TokenSHAP to interact with large language models.

To install and set up Ollama, please follow the instructions in the [Ollama GitHub repository](https://github.com/ollama/ollama).

## Installation

You can install TokenSHAP directly from PyPI using pip:

```bash
pip install tokenshap
```

Alternatively, to install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ronigold/TokenSHAP.git
cd TokenSHAP
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

TokenSHAP is easy to use with any model that supports SHAP value computation for NLP. Here's a quick guide:

```python
# Import TokenSHAP
from token_shap import TokenSHAP

# Initialize with your model & tokenizer
model_name = "llama3"
tokenizer_path = "NousResearch/Hermes-2-Theta-Llama-3-8B"
ollama_api_url = "http://localhost:11434"  # Default Ollama API URL
tshap = TokenSHAP(model_name, tokenizer_path, ollama_api_url)

# Analyze token importance
prompt = "Why is the sky blue?"
results = tshap.analyze(prompt)
```

Results will include SHAP values for each token, indicating their contribution to the model's output.

For a more detailed example and usage guide, please refer to our [TokenSHAP Examples notebook](notebooks/TokenShap%20Examples.ipynb) in the repository.
