Hands-On Explainable AI (XAI) with Python

By: Denis Rothman

Overview of this book

Effectively translating AI insights to business stakeholders requires careful planning, design, and visualization choices. Describing the problem, the model, and the relationships among variables and their findings are often subtle, surprising, and technically complex. Hands-On Explainable AI (XAI) with Python will see you work with specific hands-on machine learning Python projects that are strategically arranged to enhance your grasp on AI results analysis. You will be building models, interpreting results with visualizations, and integrating XAI reporting tools and different applications. You will build XAI solutions in Python, TensorFlow 2, Google Cloud’s XAI platform, Google Colaboratory, and other frameworks to open up the black box of machine learning models. The book will introduce you to several open-source XAI tools for Python that can be used throughout the machine learning project life cycle. You will learn how to explore machine learning model results, review key influencing variables and variable relationships, detect and handle bias and ethics issues, and integrate predictions using Python along with supporting the visualization of machine learning models into user explainable interfaces. By the end of this AI book, you will possess an in-depth understanding of the core concepts of XAI.

Defining and training the CNN model

A CNN will take the input and transform the data into higher dimensions through several layers. Describing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning models is not within the scope of this book, which focuses on explainable AI.

However, before creating the CNN, let's define the general concepts that determine the type of layers it will contain:

  • The convolutional layer applies random filters named kernels to the data; the data is multiplied by weights; the filters are optimized by the CNN weight optimizing function.
  • The pooling layer groups features. If you have {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ..., 1, 1, 1} in an area of the data, you can group them into a smaller representation such as {1, 1, 1}. You still know that a key feature of the image is {1}.
  • The dropout layer literally drops some data out. If you have a blue sky with millions of pixels, you can easily take 50% of those pixels out and still know that the...
