Ensembles of classifier models typically deliver superior performance and can outperform
single classifier models given a dataset and classification task at hand. However, the gain in
performance comes together with the lack of comprehensibility, posing a challenge to
understand how each model affects the classification outputs and from where the errors
come. We propose a tight visual integration of the data and the model space for exploring

Ensembles of classifier models typically deliver superior performance and can outperform single classifier models given a dataset and classification task at hand. However, the gain in performance comes together with the lack of comprehensibility, posing a challenge to understand how each model affects the classification outputs and from where the errors come. We propose a tight visual integration of the data and the model space for exploring and combining classifier models. We introduce an interactive workflow that builds upon the visual integration and enables the effective exploration of classification outputs and models. The involvement of the user is key to our approach. Therefore, we elaborate on the role of the human and connect our approach to theoretical frameworks on human-centered machine learning. We showcase the usefulness of our approach and the integration of the user via binary and multiclass classification problems. Based on ensembles automatically selected by a standard ensemble selection algorithm, the user can manipulate models and alternative combinations.
