Overview of this book

Interpretable Machine Learning with Python, Second Edition, brings to light the key concepts of interpreting machine learning models by analyzing real-world data, providing you with a wide range of skills and tools to decipher the results of even the most complex models. Build your interpretability toolkit with several use cases, from flight delay prediction to waste classification to COMPAS risk assessment scores. This book is full of useful techniques, introducing them to the right use case. Learn traditional methods, such as feature importance and partial dependence plots to integrated gradients for NLP interpretations and gradient-based attribution methods, such as saliency maps. In addition to the step-by-step code, you’ll get hands-on with tuning models and training data for interpretability by reducing complexity, mitigating bias, placing guardrails, and enhancing reliability. By the end of the book, you’ll be confident in tackling interpretability challenges with black-box models using tabular, language, image, and time series data.

The mission

The privately contracted security services industry market worldwide is valued at over USD 250 billion and is growing at around 5% annually. However, it faces many challenges, such as shortages of adequately trained guards and specialized security experts in many jurisdictions, and a whole host of unexpected security threats. These threats include widespread coordinated cybersecurity attacks, massive riots, social upheaval, and, last but not least, health risks brought on by pandemics. Indeed, 2020 tested the industry with a wave of ransomware, misinformation attacks, protests, and COVID-19 to boot.

In the wake of this, one of the largest hospital networks in the United States asked their contracted security company to monitor the correct use of masks by both visitors and personnel throughout the hospitals. The security company has struggled with this request because it diverts security personnel from tackling other threats, such as intruders, combative patients, and...
