  Interpretation of machine learning models has become one of the most
important research topics due to the necessity of maintaining control and
avoiding bias in these algorithms. Since many machine learning algorithms are
published every day, there is a need for novel model-agnostic interpretation
approaches that could be used to interpret a great variety of algorithms. Thus,
one advantageous way to interpret machine learning models is to feed different
input data to understand the changes in the prediction. Using such an approach,
practitioners can define relations among data patterns and a model's decision.
This work proposes a model-agnostic interpretation approach that uses
visualization of feature perturbations induced by the PSO algorithm. We
validate our approach on publicly available datasets, showing the capability to
enhance the interpretation of different classifiers while yielding very stable
results compared with state-of-the-art algorithms.
