Course details
Model Interpretability: Understanding the limitations and biases of machine learning models is crucial for explainability. This unit will cover the techniques for interpreting model outputs, including feature importance, partial dependence plots, and SHAP values. •
Feature Selection and Engineering: The quality of the input features significantly impacts the explainability of a model. This unit will focus on feature selection methods, feature engineering techniques, and how to handle high-dimensional data. •
Model-Agnostic Interpretability Methods: These methods can be applied to any machine learning model, regardless of its architecture or type. This unit will cover techniques such as LIME, TreeExplainer, and Anchor, which generate explanations based on the model's predictions. •
Model-Specific Interpretability Methods: Different machine learning models have unique interpretability techniques. This unit will delve into model-specific methods, such as saliency maps for CNNs, feature importance for random forests, and partial dependence plots for gradient boosting machines. •
Explainability in Deep Learning: Deep learning models are notoriously difficult to interpret. This unit will cover techniques for explaining deep neural networks, including saliency maps, feature importance, and gradient-based methods. •
Model Explainability for Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAT): As machine learning models become increasingly ubiquitous, ensuring fairness, accountability, and transparency is crucial. This unit will focus on model explainability techniques for detecting and mitigating bias. •
Human-Centered Explainability: Explainability is not just about technical techniques; it's also about communicating complex information to non-technical stakeholders. This unit will cover strategies for human-centered explainability, including storytelling, visualization, and narrative design. •
Model Explainability in Real-World Applications: This unit will explore real-world applications of model explainability, including healthcare, finance, and natural language processing. Students will learn how to apply explainability techniques to solve practical problems. •
Model Explainability and Ethics: As machine learning models become more pervasive, ensuring that they are developed and deployed in an ethical manner is crucial. This unit will cover the ethical implications of model explainability and strategies for ensuring responsible AI development. •
Model Explainability Tools and Frameworks: This unit will introduce students to popular model explainability tools and frameworks, including LIME, SHAP, and TreeExplainer. Students will learn how to use these tools to build and deploy explainable models.
