Explainable AI (KEN4246) | Masters course delivered and designed with Tjitze Rienstra Topics: (1) Intrinsically interpretable models, e.g., decision trees, decision rules, linear regression. (2) Identification of violations of assumptions; such as distribution of features, feature interaction, non-linear relationships between features; and what to do about them. (3) Model agnostic explanations, e.g., LIME, scoped Rules (Anchors), SHAP (and Shapley values) (4) Ethics for explanations, e.g., fairness and bias in data, models, and outputs. (5) (Adaptive) User Interfaces for explainable AI (6) Evaluation of explanation understandability |
