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.

The counterfactual explanations method

In this chapter and section, we will be exploring AI explanations in a unique way. We will not go through the "getting started" developer approach and then explore the code in sequential steps from beginning to end.

We will start from a user's perspective when faced with factual and counterfactual data that require an immediate explanation.

Let's now see which dataset we are exploring and why.

Dataset and motivations

Sentiment analysis is one of the key aspects of AI. Bots analyze our photos on social media to find out who we are. Social media platforms scan our photos daily to find out who we are. Our photos enter the large data structures of Google, Facebook, Instagram, and other data-collecting giants.

Smiling or not on a photo makes a big difference in sentiment analysis. Bots make inferences on this.

For example, if a bot detects 100 photos of people, which contain 0 smiles and 50 frowns,...
