Description:

State-of-the-art machine learning techniques offer extraordinary performance on everything from text analysis to feature classification, but they often function as "black boxes" that obscure their decision-making. As artificial intelligence makes its way into critical processes in every industry, stakeholders will demand transparency from their models and algorithms.

This webcast will discuss the problem of interpretability in AI and address techniques for building transparent artificial intelligence applications with explainable outcomes.
