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.

Over the last thirteen chapters, we have explored the field of Machine Learning (ML) interpretability. As stated in the preface, it's a broad area of research, most of which hasn't even left the lab and become widely used yet, and this book has no intention of covering absolutely all of it. Instead, the objective is to present various interpretability tools in sufficient depth to be useful as a starting point for beginners and even complement the knowledge of more advanced readers. This chapter will summarize what we've learned in the context of the ecosystem of ML interpretability methods, and then speculate on what's to come next!

These are the main topics we are going to cover in this chapter:

  • Understanding the current landscape of ML interpretability
  • Speculating on the future of ML interpretability
