Deep Learning and XAI Techniques for Anomaly Detection

By: Cher Simon

Overview of this book

Despite promising advances, the opaque nature of deep learning models makes it difficult to interpret them, which is a drawback in terms of their practical deployment and regulatory compliance. Deep Learning and XAI Techniques for Anomaly Detection shows you state-of-the-art methods that’ll help you to understand and address these challenges. By leveraging the Explainable AI (XAI) and deep learning techniques described in this book, you’ll discover how to successfully extract business-critical insights while ensuring fair and ethical analysis. This practical guide will provide you with tools and best practices to achieve transparency and interpretability with deep learning models, ultimately establishing trust in your anomaly detection applications. Throughout the chapters, you’ll get equipped with XAI and anomaly detection knowledge that’ll enable you to embark on a series of real-world projects. Whether you are building computer vision, natural language processing, or time series models, you’ll learn how to quantify and assess their explainability. By the end of this deep learning book, you’ll be able to build a variety of deep learning XAI models and perform validation to assess their explainability.

Natural Language Processing Anomaly Explainability

The evolution of Natural Language Processing (NLP) began in the 1950s with machine translation converting Russian into English. The advent of computing power and big data motivated NLP innovation, leading to a new subfield of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Figure 3.1 shows the intersections of NLP with other disciplines:

There is abundant unstructured textual data around us for NLP tasks, such as text classification, topic modeling, and intent detection. NLP enables computers to understand and analyze massive amounts of written and verbal human language at scale. The goal is to contextualize language nuances and extract useful information to derive valuable insights.

Deep learning has revolutionized many NLP applications, including text summarization, machine translation, and question-answering. However, despite high accuracy, industry...
