Model Interpretability: The Conversation Continues

This Domino Data Science Field Note covers a proposed definition of interpretability and distilled overview of the PDR framework. Insights are drawn from Bin Yu, W. James Murdoch, Chandan Singh, Karl Kumber, and Reza Abbasi-Asi's recent paper, "Definitions, methods, and applications in interpretable machine learning".

Data Ethics: Contesting Truth and Rearranging Power

This Domino Data Science Field Note covers Chris Wiggins's recent data ethics seminar at Berkeley. The article focuses on 1) proposed frameworks for defining and designing for ethics and for understanding the forces that encourage industry to operationalize ethics, as well as 2) proposed ethical principles for data scientists to consider when developing data-empowered products. Many thanks to Chris for providing feedback on this post prior to publication and for the permission to excerpt his slides.

Model Interpretability with TCAV (Testing with Concept Activation Vectors)

This Domino Data Science Field Note provides very distilled insights and excerpts from Been Kim’s recent MLConf 2018 talk and research about Testing with Concept Activation Vectors (TCAV), an interpretability method that allows researchers to understand and quantitatively measure the high-level concepts their neural network models are using for prediction, “even if the concept was not part of the training". If interested in additional insights not provided in this blog post, please refer to the MLConf 2018 video, the ICML 2018 video, and the paper.

Justified Algorithmic Forgiveness?

Last week, Paco Nathan referenced Julia Angwin’s recent Strata keynote that covered algorithmic bias. This Domino Data Science Field Note dives a bit deeper into some of the publicly available research regarding algorithmic accountability and forgiveness, specifically around a proprietary black box model used to predict the risk of recidivism, or whether someone will “relapse into criminal behavior”.
