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.

Summary

After reading this chapter, you should know how to use SHAP's KernelExplainer, as well as its decision and force plot to conduct local interpretations. You also should know how to do the same with LIME's instance explainer for both tabular and text data. Lastly, you should understand the strengths and weaknesses of SHAP's KernelExplainer and LIME. In the next chapter, we will learn how to create even more human-interpretable explanations of a model's decisions, such as "if X conditions are met, then Y is the outcome".
