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.

Human cognitive input for the CEM

In this section, we will use our human cognitive abilities to pick two key features out of tens of features inside a minute and solve a problem.

In Chapter 9, The Counterfactual Explanations Method, we used WIT to visualize the counterfactuals of data points. The data points were images of people who were smiling or not smiling. The goal was to predict the category in which a person was situated.

We explored Counterfactual_explanations.ipynb. You can go back and go through this if necessary. We found that some pictures were confusing. For example, we examined the following images:

Figure 12.3: WIT interface displaying counterfactual data points

It is difficult to see whether the person on the left is smiling.

This leads us to find a cognitive explanation.

Rule-based perspectives

Rule bases can be effective when machine learning or deep learning models reach their explainable AI limits.

In this section, we will...
