Explaining Machine Learning Predictions and Building Trust with LIME

It's needless to say: machine learning is powerful. At the most basic level, machine learning algorithms can be used to classify things. Given a collection of cute animal pictures, a classifier can separate the pictures into buckets of'dog' and'not a dog'. Given data about customer restaurant preferences, a classifier can predict what restaurant a user goes to next. However, the role of humans is overlooked in the technology.
