Platform and Model Design for Responsible AI

By: Amita Kapoor, Sharmistha Chatterjee

Overview of this book

AI algorithms are ubiquitous and used for tasks, from recruiting to deciding who will get a loan. With such widespread use of AI in the decision-making process, it’s necessary to build an explainable, responsible, transparent, and trustworthy AI-enabled system. With Platform and Model Design for Responsible AI, you’ll be able to make existing black box models transparent. You’ll be able to identify and eliminate bias in your models, deal with uncertainty arising from both data and model limitations, and provide a responsible AI solution. You’ll start by designing ethical models for traditional and deep learning ML models, as well as deploying them in a sustainable production setup. After that, you’ll learn how to set up data pipelines, validate datasets, and set up component microservices in a secure and private way in any cloud-agnostic framework. You’ll then build a fair and private ML model with proper constraints, tune the hyperparameters, and evaluate the model metrics. By the end of this book, you’ll know the best practices to comply with data privacy and ethics laws, in addition to the techniques needed for data anonymization. You’ll be able to develop models with explainability, store them in feature stores, and handle uncertainty in model predictions.

Understanding churn modeling using XAI techniques

Now that you have an idea of the ELI5, LIME, and SHAP techniques, let’s use them on a real-life problem. For the purpose of demonstration, we will consider the problem of churn modeling.

Churn modeling is a type of predictive modeling used to identify customers who are likely to stop using a company’s products or services, also known as churning. Churn modeling is commonly used in industries such as telecommunications, financial services, and e-commerce, where customer retention is an important factor for business success.

Churn modeling typically involves building a predictive model using ML or other statistical techniques to identify the factors that are most likely to contribute to customer churn. The model is trained on data covering past customers, including information about their demographics, usage patterns, and churn status (that is, whether they churned or not). The model is then used to make predictions...
