Description

Interpretable Machine Learning with Python, Second Edition, brings to light the key concepts of interpreting machine learning models by analyzing real-world data, providing you with a wide range of skills and tools to decipher the results of even the most complex models. Build your interpretability toolkit with several use cases, from flight delay prediction to waste classification to COMPAS risk assessment scores. This book is full of useful techniques, introducing them to the right use case. Learn traditional methods, such as feature importance and partial dependence plots to integrated gradients for NLP interpretations and gradient-based attribution methods, such as saliency maps. In addition to the step-by-step code, you’ll get hands-on with tuning models and training data for interpretability by reducing complexity, mitigating bias, placing guardrails, and enhancing reliability. By the end of the book, you’ll be confident in tackling interpretability challenges with black-box models using tabular, language, image, and time series data.

Who is this book for?

This book is for data scientists, machine learning developers, machine learning engineers, MLOps engineers, and data stewards who have an increasingly critical responsibility to explain how the artificial intelligence systems they develop work, their impact on decision making, and how they identify and manage bias. It’s also a useful resource for self-taught ML enthusiasts and beginners who want to go deeper into the subject matter, though a good grasp of the Python programming language is needed to implement the examples.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I just finished reading "Interpretable Machine Learning with Python - Second Edition" Authored by Serg Masís and published by Packt.In the book, readers embark on a comprehensive journey through the intricate world of interpreting machine learning models. Authored with technical precision and practical insights, the book addresses the pressing need for understanding and explaining machine learning algorithms.The initial chapters lay a sturdy foundation, delineating the distinctions between interpretability and explainability while underscoring their significance in real-world applications. Through a compelling business case, readers grasp the imperative of interpretability in decision-making processes.Delving deeper, the book navigates through key concepts and challenges surrounding interpretation methodologies. From traditional model interpretations to the emergence of newer glass-box models, readers gain a nuanced understanding of interpretability paradigms.The narrative unfolds with an exploration of global and local model-agnostic interpretation methods, shedding light on feature importance and interactions. Anchors, counterfactual explanations, and visualization techniques offer multifaceted insights into model behaviors across various domains.The book extends its reach into the realms of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and natural language processing (NLP) transformers, elucidating complex architectures through visualization and interpretation methods.Further chapters unravel the intricacies of multivariate forecasting, feature selection, bias mitigation, and causal inference methods, empowering readers to navigate through the interpretability landscape with finesse.Finally, discussions on model tuning, adversarial robustness, and future prospects in ML interpretability invite readers to contemplate the evolving role of transparency in machine learning systems."Interpretable Machine Learning with Python" emerges as an indispensable resource for practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts alike, offering profound insights and actionable strategies to unravel the mysteries of machine learning models.

An extremely valuable resource on the increasing important topic of knowing the how machine learning models make predictions. The descriptions of the methods and codes samples seamlessly join theory with practical application.The book starts with an excellent discussion of the levels of human understanding of a model and why understanding model biases is a key to successful modeling (from transparency to accountability and finally to fairness).Following chapters on performance metrics and what they reveal and what they do not see, the book dives into the tools to go beyond the precision, recall, and accuracy including tools for feature detection, counterfactual modeling, gradient based attribution methods, and graphic tools to better understanding the attribute weights found in transformer models.The book demonstrates different types of adversarial strategies can be used to undermine the model’s ability to make accurate predictions: vulnerabilities to different types of attacks is a key part of our understanding of how a model works.The book concludes with a discussion how model vulnerabilities and explainability are key parts of the path moving the technology forward to a fully mature useful tool with guardrails and standard safe practices.

What I liked the most about this book is it’s explained concepts with the industry level problem statements. Overall it’s a great book

David A Jacobs Dec 19, 2023

This ambitious book takes on three huge tasks: surveying tools and philosophies to help developers better interpret and explain AI models and their outcomes, documenting real-world cases of bias being built into data sets before offering strategies showing how not to repeat those mistakes, and offering a broad and deep state of the art of AI algorithms, a fast-moving field to say the least. Appropriate for its scope it’s a huge book, but it’s also a living one, with code examples available and an active Discord community in support of the material. I recommend this book for AI practitioners of all skill levels, as well as for students who want to get ahead of what will be one of the most important challenges we face over the decades to come.
