Good Explanation for Algorithmic Transparency
TL;DR: A generalizable framework grounded in philosophy, psychology, and interpretable machine learning is developed to investigate and define characteristics of good explanation, and a large-scale lab experiment is conducted to measure the impact of different factors on perceptions of understanding, fairness, and trust within a loan application context.

Abstract: Machine learning algorithms have gained widespread usage across a variety of domains, both in providing predictions to expert users and recommending decisions to everyday users. However, these AI systems are often black boxes, and end-users are rarely provided with an explanation of the algorithmic output, which could lead to a significant loss of trust and willingness to use. The critical need for explanation and justification by AI systems has led to calls for algorithmic transparency, including the "right to explanation" in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires many companies to provide a meaningful explanation to involved parties. These initiatives all presuppose that we know what constitutes a meaningful or good explanation, but there has been limited research on this question in the context of AI systems. In this paper, we (1) develop a generalizable framework grounded in philosophy, psychology, and interpretable machine learning to investigate and define characteristics of good explanation, and (2) conduct a large-scale lab experiment to measure the impact of different factors on perceptions of understanding, fairness, and trust within a loan application context. The framework and study together form a concrete guide for managers to present algorithmic prediction rationales to end-users to foster trust and adoption. They also highlight elements of explanation to be considered by AI researchers and engineers in designing, developing, and deploying explainable machine learning algorithms.

Public attitudes value interpretability but prioritize accuracy in Artificial Intelligence
TL;DR: This article found that participants value interpretability positively across different levels of AI autonomy and accuracy, and rate interpretability as more important for AI decisions involving high stakes and scarce resources, when AI interpretability trades off against AI accuracy, under the same conditions driving positive attitudes towards interpretability in the first place.

TL;DR: Scikit-learn is a Python module integrating a wide range of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for medium-scale supervised and unsupervised problems, focusing on bringing machine learning to non-specialists using a general-purpose high-level language.
Deep learning
TL;DR: Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
