Overview of this book

Do you want to gain a deeper understanding of your models and better mitigate poor prediction risks associated with machine learning interpretation? If so, then Interpretable Machine Learning with Python deserves a place on your bookshelf. We’ll be starting off with the fundamentals of interpretability, its relevance in business, and exploring its key aspects and challenges. As you progress through the chapters, you'll then focus on how white-box models work, compare them to black-box and glass-box models, and examine their trade-off. You’ll also get you up to speed with a vast array of interpretation methods, also known as Explainable AI (XAI) methods, and how to apply them to different use cases, be it for classification or regression, for tabular, time-series, image or text. In addition to the step-by-step code, this book will also help you interpret model outcomes using examples. You’ll get hands-on with tuning models and training data for interpretability by reducing complexity, mitigating bias, placing guardrails, and enhancing reliability. The methods you’ll explore here range from state-of-the-art feature selection and dataset debiasing methods to monotonic constraints and adversarial retraining. By the end of this book, you'll be able to understand ML models better and enhance them through interpretability tuning.

The mission

Highway traffic congestion is a problem that's affecting cities across the world. As vehicle per capita steadily increases across the developing world with not enough road and parking infrastructure to keep up with it, congestion has been increasing at alarming levels. In the United States, the vehicle per capita statistic is among the highest in the world (838 per 1,000 people for 2019). For this reason, US cities represent 62 out of the 381 cities worldwide. with at least a 15% congestion level.

Minneapolis is one such city (see the following screenshot) where that threshold was recently surpassed and keeps rising. To put this metropolitan area into context, congestion levels are extremely severe above 50%, but moderate level congestion (15-25%) is already a warning sign of bad congestion to come. It's challenging to reverse congestion once it reaches 25% because any infrastructure improvement will be costly to implement without disrupting traffic even further...
