# Model Explanations

> Understand why models give particular predictions

Model explanations allow you to understand why a machine learning model gave a particular predictions. Seldon Enterprise Platform allows you to use Black Box Model Explainers that can be used on models built using any technology.

## Available Methods

Seldon Enterprise Platform supports a subset of the methods currently available in Alibi for Seldon Core deployments. Find documentation on [explanation algorithms](https://docs.seldon.io/projects/alibi/en/latest/explanations/methods.html) and read about creating your [custom explainer](https://docs.seldon.io/projects/seldon-core/en/latest/analytics/explainers.html#creating-your-explainer)
