Explainable Artificial Intelligence (Part 2) -- Model Interpretation Strategies

This article in a continuation in my series of articles aimed at'Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)'. If you haven't checked out the first article, I would definitely recommend you to take a quick glance at'Part I -- The Importance of Human Interpretable Machine Learning' which covers the what and why of human interpretable machine learning and the need and importance of model interpretation along with its scope and criteria. In this article, we will be picking up from where we left off and expand further into the criteria of machine learning model interpretation methods and explore techniques for interpretation based on scope. The aim of this article is to give you a good understanding of existing, traditional model interpretation methods, their limitations and challenges. We will also cover the classic model accuracy vs. model interpretability trade-off and finally take a look at the major strategies for model interpretation. Briefly, we will be covering the following aspects in this article. This should get us set and ready for the detailed hands-on guide to model interpretation coming in Part 3, so stay tuned! Model interpretation at heart, is to find out ways to understand model decision making policies better.
