Beschreibung

Understand model interpretability methods and apply the most suitable one for your machine learning project. This book details the concepts of machine learning interpretability along with different types of explainability algorithms.

You'll begin by reviewing the theoretical aspects of machine learning interpretability. In the first few sections you'll learn what interpretability is, what the common properties of interpretability methods are, the general taxonomy for classifying methods into different sections, and how the methods should be assessed in terms of human factors and technical requirements. Using a holistic approach featuring detailed examples, this book also includes quotes from actual business leaders and technical experts to showcase how real life users perceive interpretability and its related methods, goals, stages, and properties.

Progressing through the book, you'll dive deep into the technical details of the interpretability domain. Starting off with the general frameworks of different types of methods, you'll use a data set to see how each method generates output with actual code and implementations. These methods are divided into different types based on their explanation frameworks, with some common categories listed as feature importance based methods, rule based methods, saliency maps methods, counterfactuals, and concept attribution. The book concludes by showing how data effects interpretability and some of the pitfalls prevalent when using explainability methods.

What You'll Learn

Understand machine learning model interpretability
Explore the different properties and selection requirements of various interpretability methods
Review the different types of interpretability methods used in real life by technical experts
Interpret the output of various methods and understand the underlying problems

Who This Book Is For

Aditya Kumar Pal works as a Lead Data Scientist with Rakuten at their Bangalore office. Aditya has a rich experience of more than 8 years in domain of Data Sciences and Business Analytics. He has worked with more than 50 stakeholders over the past 8 years to solve their problems using data and algorithms across multiple functions such as customer analytics, pricing analytics, assortment analytics and marketing analytics etc. Couple of years back, Aditya developed interest in model explainability after hearing about it in a seminar of Data Sciences and worked continuously since then over a variety of problems to gain expertise in the domain. He learnt all about the various algorithms and used to find a unique way to combine his knowledge of the business domain with explainability to come up with value creating solutions for the stakeholders. Aditya has received multiple awards across all the organization he has worked at, for his work on data sciences and problem solving. His passion to go into the extreme depth of a topic motivated him to consolidate his knowledge on explainability of machine learning algorithms into a textbook so that his learnings can benefit others in the industry. Aditya also takes part in conferences and has spoken across multiple analytics schools and forums as a guest speaker. He also took a part time role of Data Science coach with one of the leading online education platform to guide a batch of 20 students on data sciences. A passionate sports player and a part time artist, Aditya also has immense love for motorcycles and cars and envisions to someday combine his love for Data Sciences with his hobbies. Additionally, Aditya also cares about social causes such as education for underprivileged kids and environmental protection.
