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.

Chapter 10: XAI Industry Best Practices

In the first section of this book, we discussed various concepts related to Explainable AI (XAI). These concepts were established through years of research, considering various application domains of artificial intelligence (AI). However, the need for XAI for industrial applications has been felt very recently as AI adoption in industrial use cases is increasing. Unfortunately, the general awareness of XAI for industrial use cases is still lacking due to certain challenges and gaps in how to implement human-friendly explainability methods.

In Section 2, Practical Problem Solving, we covered many XAI Python frameworks that are popularly used for interpreting the working of machine learning (ML) models. However, only understanding how to apply the XAI Python frameworks in practice is not sufficient for industrial problems. Industrial problems require solutions that are scalable and sustainable. So, it is very important for us to discuss the...
