About this book

Transparent Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems facilitate understanding of the decision-making process and provide opportunities in various aspects of explaining AI models. This book provides up-to-date information on the latest advancements in the field of explainable AI, which is a critical requirement of AI, Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) models. It provides examples, case studies, latest techniques, and applications from domains such as healthcare, finance, and network security. It also covers open-source interpretable tool kits so that practitioners can use them in their domains. Features: Presents a clear focus on the application of explainable AI systems while tackling important issues of “interpretability” and “transparency”. Reviews adept handling with respect to existing software and evaluation issues of interpretability. Provides insights into simple interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules, and linear regression. Focuses on interpreting black box models like feature importance and accumulated local effects. Discusses capabilities of explainability and interpretability. This book is aimed at graduate students and professionals in computer engineering and networking communications.

This book serves as a comprehensive guide to Explainable, Interpretable, and Transparent AI (XAI) systems, addressing the critical need for understanding the decision-making processes of complex AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning models. Authored by B. K. Tripathy and Hari Seetha, it provides an up-to-date overview of the field's advancements, covering foundational concepts, practical techniques, and real-world applications across diverse domains like healthcare, finance, and network security. The text emphasizes both simple interpretable models and methods for interpreting 'black box' AI, offering insights into open-source toolkits for practitioners. Aimed at graduate students and professionals, it is a vital resource for navigating the complexities and ethical implications of modern AI.

Key themes

The Imperative of Explainability and Transparency in AI
This is the foundational theme, arguing that understanding AI's decision-making is no longer optional but a critical requirement for trust, accountability, and adoption. The book positions XAI as essential for debugging, compliance, safety, and fostering user confidence.
Bridging the Gap: Interpretable Models vs. Explaining Black Boxes
This theme explores the two primary approaches to XAI: using inherently interpretable models (like decision trees) or applying post-hoc explanation techniques to complex, high-performing 'black box' models (like deep neural networks). It highlights the trade-offs and methodologies for each.
Practical Application and Tooling of XAI
This theme emphasizes the real-world utility of XAI, showcasing its applications across various domains and introducing practitioners to the available open-source tools and evaluation metrics. It moves beyond theoretical concepts to actionable implementation.

Worth discussing

What are the primary ethical and practical implications of deploying 'black box' AI systems without sufficient explainability?
