Explainable Artificial Intelligence - Demystifying the Hype by Dipanjan Sarkar #ODSC_India

The field of Artificial Intelligence powered by Machine Learning and Deep Learning has gone through some phenomenal changes over the last decade. Starting off as just a pure academic and research-oriented domain, we have seen widespread industry adoption across diverse domains including retail, technology, healthcare, science and many more. More than often, the standard toolbox of machine learning, statistical or deep learning models remain the same. New models do come into existence like Capsule Networks, but industry adoption of the same usually takes several years. Hence, in the industry, the main focus of data science or machine learning is more'applied' rather than theoretical and effective application of these models on the right data to solve complex real-world problems is of paramount importance.
