Model Evaluation in the Land of Deep Learning

Applications for machine learning and deep learning have become increasingly accessible. For example, Keras provides APIs with TensorFlow backend that enable users to build neural networks without being fluent with TensorFlow. Despite the ease of building and testing models, deep learning has suffered from a lack of interpretability; deep learning models are considered black boxes to many users. In a talk at ODSC West in 2018, Pramit Choudhary explained the importance of model evaluation and interpretability in deep learning and some cutting edge techniques for addressing it. Predictive accuracy is not the only concern regarding a model's performance.
