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.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the seven popular XAI frameworks that are available in Python: the DALEX, Explainerdashboard, InterpretML, ALIBI, DiCE, ELI5, and H2O AutoML explainers. We have discussed the supported explanation methods for each of the frameworks, the practical application of each, and the various pros and cons. So, we did cover a lot in this chapter! I also provided a quick comparison guide to help you decide which framework you should go for. This also brings us to the end of Part 2 of this book, which gave you practical exposure to using XAI Python frameworks for problem-solving.

Section 3 of this book is targeted mainly at the researchers and experts who share the same passion as I do: bringing AI closer to end users. So, in the next chapter, we will discuss the best practices of XAI that are recommended for designing human-friendly AI systems.
