Applied Machine Learning Explainability Techniques

By: Aditya Bhattacharya

Overview of this book

Explainable AI (XAI) is an emerging field that brings artificial intelligence (AI) closer to non-technical end users. XAI makes machine learning (ML) models transparent and trustworthy along with promoting AI adoption for industrial and research use cases. Applied Machine Learning Explainability Techniques comes with a unique blend of industrial and academic research perspectives to help you acquire practical XAI skills. You'll begin by gaining a conceptual understanding of XAI and why it's so important in AI. Next, you'll get the practical experience needed to utilize XAI in AI/ML problem-solving processes using state-of-the-art methods and frameworks. Finally, you'll get the essential guidelines needed to take your XAI journey to the next level and bridge the existing gaps between AI and end users. By the end of this ML book, you'll be equipped with best practices in the AI/ML life cycle and will be able to implement XAI methods and approaches using Python to solve industrial problems, successfully addressing key pain points encountered.

Quick comparison guide

In this chapter, we discussed the different types of XAI frameworks available in Python. Of course, no one framework is absolutely perfect and can be used for all scenarios. Throughout the sections, I did mention the pros and cons of each framework, but I believe it will be really handy if you have a quick comparison guide to decide on your choice of XAI framework, considering your given problem.

The following table illustrates a quick comparison guide for the seven XAI frameworks covered in this chapter. I have tried to compare these based on the different dimensions of explainability, their compatibility with various ML models, a qualitative assessment of human-friendly explanations, the robustness of the explanations produced, a qualitative assessment of scalability, and how fast the particular framework can be adopted in production-level systems:
