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.

Intuitive understanding of LIME

LIME is a novel, model-agnostic, local explanation technique used for interpreting black-box models by learning a local model around the predictions. LIME provides an intuitive global understanding of the model, which is helpful for non-expert users, too. The technique was first proposed in the research paper "Why Should I Trust You?" Explaining the Predictions of Any Classifier by Ribeiro et al. (https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.04938). The Python library can be installed from the GitHub repository at https://github.com/marcotcr/lime. The algorithm does a pretty good job of interpreting any classifier or regressor in faithful ways by using approximated local interpretable models. It provides a global perspective to establish trust for any black-box model; therefore, it allows you to identify interpretable models over human-interpretable representation, which is locally faithful to the algorithm. So, it mainly functions by learning interpretable...
