Explaining the Predictions of Any Image Classifier via Decision Trees

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Despite outstanding contribution to the significant progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI), deep learning models remain mostly black boxes, which are extremely weak in explainability of the reasoning process and prediction results. Explainability is not only a gateway between AI and society but also a powerful tool to detect flaws in the model and biases in the data. Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanation (LIME) is a recent approach that uses a linear regression model to form a local explanation for the individual prediction result. However, being so restricted and usually oversimplifying the relationships, linear models fail in situations where nonlinear associations and interactions exist among features and prediction results. This paper proposes an extended Decision Tree-based LIME (TLIME) approach, which uses a decision tree model to form an interpretable representation that is locally faithful to the original model. The new approach can capture nonlinear interactions among features in the data and creates plausible explanations. Various experiments show that the TLIME explanation of multiple blackbox models can achieve more reliable performance in terms of understandability, fidelity, and efficiency.

"I am very interested in what is happening in Latin America and I think (in) Brazil there is an awful lot of quite smart investment," he added, noting that he thinks Europe is being a bit slow. The latest research report titled "Artificial Intelligence in Retail Market" published by Industry Research expects AI in the retail market to grow globally at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 35 percent from 2019 to 2024. The report also notes that the growing trend of rising technology adoption in the industry can be associated with the need for streamlining retail operations, minimising efforts, and increasing revenue mostly for e-commerce retailers. The application of artificial intelligence (AI), big data and analytics will enable businesses with a data-driven model by expanding the types of data that can be analysed and raise the level of sophistication of the resulting insight, according to the report. Owen Farrow, Leader Consumer Industry at IBM Middle East told Zawya on the sidelines of the event that the UAE particularly is becoming a more common place to talk to people about AI and stands out for leading with experience.

Statistical EL is ExpTime-complete

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We show that consistency of Statistical EL knowledge bases, as defined by Penaloza and Potyka in SUM 2017 [4] is ExpTime-hard. Together with the existing ExpTime upper bound by Baader in FroCos 2017 [1], the result leads to the ExpTime-completeness of the mentioned logic. Our proof goes via a reduction from consistency of EL extended with an atomic negation, which is known to be equivalent to the well-known ExpTime-complete description logic ALC.

Note: By submitting this form, you agree to Third Door Media's terms. Google is making the largest change to its search system since the company introduced RankBrain, almost five-years ago. The company said this will impact 1 in 10 queries in terms of changing the results that rank for those queries. BERT started rolling out this week and will be fully live shortly. It is rolling out for English language queries now and will expand to other languages in the future.


How Self-Driving Tractors And AI Are Changing Agriculture

#artificialintelligence

As artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous machines become more common in agriculture, the industry is going through enormous changes. Ofir Schlam, CEO and co-founder of Taranis, a leading precision agriculture intelligence platform, recently shared more information about these changes in an interview. Taranis is an AI-powered agriculture intelligence platform that was selected to be part of John Deere's startup collaborator. It uses sophisticated computer vision, data science and deep learning algorithms to enable farmers to make informed decisions. The platform is capable of monitoring fields and finding early symptoms of uneven emergence, weeds, nutrient deficiencies, disease or insect infestations, water damage and equipment issues.

"Without question the impact will be immense": How AI is reshaping the publishing industry What's New in Publishing Digital Publishing News

#artificialintelligence

"There is no doubt that AI will become the essential key to success for the publishing industry," says Colin Lovrinovic, MD of Gould Finch a management consultancy. Gould Finch and Frankfurter Buchmesse (international publishing industry's biggest trade fair) have collaborated on a recently published whitepaper, "The future impact of artificial intelligence on the publishing industry." It is the result of a 6-month international survey of 233 participants from 17 countries, and includes inputs of CEOs and editors from the publishing industry. The paper outlines challenges publishers face while considering AI implementation in their organizations. And presents suggestions on where they should concentrate efforts and attention to realize the most benefits.
