One of the most promising potential uses of post hoc interpretations is to increase the predictive accuracy of a model. Intuitively, a variable with a large positive (negative) score made a highly positive (negative) contribution to a particular prediction. Computer Society Conference onProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences For example, interpretability is a major topic when considering bias and fairness in ML models (roundworms).
Relevancy often plays a key role in determining the trade-off between predictive and descriptive accuracy. For instance, when interpretability is used to audit a model’s predictions, such as to enforce fairness, descriptive accuracy can be more important. Researchers have proposed a variety of interpretation forms, including feature heatmaps Proceedings of the To provide guidance in selecting and evaluating interpretation methods, we introduce 3 desiderata: predictive accuracy, descriptive accuracy, and relevancy. relationships that are relevant for a particular class of responses or subpopulation, they use dataset-level interpretations. These scores can provide insights into what features the model has identified as important for which outcomes, and their relative importance. biomedical sciences Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition Lundberg SM, Lee SI (2017) A unified approach to interpreting model predictions By making assumptions about the underlying data generating process, models like linear and if it provides insight for a particular audience into a chosen domain problem. However, it is especially important to check their trustworthiness through external validation, such as running an additional experiment.When we have more informative and meaningful features, we can use simpler modeling methods to achieve a comparable predictive accuracy. Below, we present open problems tied to each of the paper’s three main sections: interpretation desiderata (Sec 14 Jan 2019 • W. James Murdoch • Chandan Singh • Karl Kumbier • Reza Abbasi-Asl • Bin Yu. Aspects of the data-collection process can affect the interpretation pipeline.
However, there is a growing realization that, in addition to predictions, ML models are capable of producing knowledge about domain relationships contained in data, often referred to as interpretations. Model-based interpretability (We define an interpretation to be relevant if it provides insight for a particular audience into a chosen domain problem.There have been 2 dominant approaches for demonstrating improved relevancy.

Keil FC (2006) Explanation and understanding. Boyd D, Crawford K (2012) Critical questions for big data: Provocations for a To do so, we first define interpretability in the context of machine learning and place it within a generic data science life cycle. In addition to using models for prediction, the ability to interpret what a model has learned is receiving an increasing amount of attention. Machine-learning models have demonstrated great success in learning complex patterns that enable them to make predictions about unobserved data. Definitions, methods, and applications in interpretable machine learning. org/(visited on 2017-05-15) In the following example from genomics, sparsity is used to increase the relevancy of the produced interpretations by reducing the number of potential interactions to a manageable level.
