Interpretable Machine Learning is a comprehensive guide to making machine learning models interpretable

\"Pretty convinced this is the best book out there on the subject\"

– Brian Lewis, Data Scientist at Cornerstone Research

Summary

This book covers a range of interpretability methods, from inherently interpretable models to methods that can make any model interpretable, such as SHAP, LIME, and permutation feature importance. It also includes interpretation methods specific to deep neural networks and discusses why interpretability is important in machine learning. All interpretation methods are explained in depth and discussed critically. How do they work under the hood? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How can their outputs be interpreted?

\"What I love about this book is that it starts with the big picture instead of diving immediately into the nitty gritty of the methods (although all of that is there, too).\"

– Andrea Farnham, Researcher at Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute

Who the book is for

This book is essential for machine learning practitioners, data scientists, statisticians, and anyone interested in making their machine learning models interpretable. It will help readers select and apply the appropriate interpretation method for their specific project.

\"This one has been a life saver for me to interpret models. ALE plots are just too good!\"

– Sai Teja Pasul, Data Scientist at Kohl's
