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.

Facets Overview

Facets Overview provides a wide range of statistics for each feature of a dataset. Facets Overview will help you detect missing data, zero values, non-uniformity in data distributions, and more, as we will see in this section.

We will begin by creating feature statistics for the training and testing datasets.

Creating feature statistics for the datasets

Without Facets Overview or a similar tool, the only way to obtain statistics would be to write our programs or use spreadsheets. Writing our own functions can be time-consuming and costly. This is where Facets provides statistics with a few lines of code that we will use now.

Implementing the feature statistics code

In this section, we will encode the data, stringify it, and build the statistics generator. When using JSON, we first stringify information to transfer data into strings before sending it to JavaScript functions.

First, we will import base64:

import base64
