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.

Anchor explanations for ImageNet

In this section, we will build a Python Alibi program that will produce anchors for images. Alibi is a library that contains several XAI resources.

We will use images from ImageNet to run the explainer.

We will build the program in the following order:

  1. Installing Alibi and importing the modules
  2. Loading an InceptionV3 model
  3. Downloading an image to explain
  4. Processing the image and making predictions
  5. Creating the anchor image explainer and displaying the visual explanations

Let's first install Alibi and import the modules.

Installing Alibi and importing the modules

To get started, open the Image_XAI_Anchor.ipynb notebook for this chapter. This notebook is in the chapter directory of this book.

We will first install Alibi as follows:

# @title Install Alibi
try:
  import alibi
except:
  !pip install alibi

If Alibi is installed, the program will continue. However, when Colaboratory...
