Book Description
Interpretability in AI/ML refers to the ability to understand and explain how a model arrives at its predictions. It ensures that humans can follow the model's reasoning, making it easier to debug, validate, and trust.
Interpretability and Explainability in AI Using Python takes you on a structured journey through interpretability and explainability techniques for both white-box and black-box models.
You’ll start with foundational concepts in interpretable machine learning, exploring different model types and their transparency levels. As you progress, you’ll dive into post-hoc methods, feature effect analysis, anchors, and counterfactuals—powerful tools to decode complex models. The book also covers explainability in deep learning, including Neural Networks, Transformers, and Large Language Models (LLMs), equipping you with strategies to uncover decision-making patterns in AI systems.
Through hands-on Python examples, you’ll learn how to apply these techniques in real-world scenarios. By the end, you’ll be well-versed in choosing the right interpretability methods, implementing them efficiently, and ensuring AI models align with ethical and regulatory standards—giving you a competitive edge in the evolving AI landscape.
