Summary

Interpretable Machine Learning with Python, Second Edition, brings to light the key concepts of interpreting machine learning models by analyzing real-world data, providing you with a wide range of skills and tools to decipher the results of even the most complex models.

Build your interpretability toolkit with several use cases, from flight delay prediction to waste classification to COMPAS risk assessment scores. This book is full of useful techniques, introducing them to the right use case. Learn traditional methods, such as feature importance and partial dependence plots to integrated gradients for NLP interpretations and gradient-based attribution methods, such as saliency maps.

In addition to the step-by-step code, you’ll get hands-on with tuning models and training data for interpretability by reducing complexity, mitigating bias, placing guardrails, and enhancing reliability.

By the end of the book, you’ll be confident in tackling interpretability challenges with black-box models using tabular, language, image, and time series data.

    When Johnnie Green sent him along the road at a trot, Twinkleheels' tiny feet moved so fast that you could scarcely have told one from another. Being a pony, and only half as big as a horse, he had to move his legs twice as quickly as a horse did in order to travel at a horse's speed. Twinkleheels' friends knew that he didn't care to be beaten by any horse, no matter how long-legged. It's spirit, not size, that counts," Farmer Green often remarked as he watched Twinkleheels tripping out of the yard, sometimes with Johnnie on his back, sometimes drawing Johnnie in a little, red-wheeled buggy. Old dog Spot agreed with Farmer Green. When Twinkleheels first came to live on the farm Spot had thought him something of a joke." (Summary by author)

    Theory of relativity is a combination of two different theories or says two different combinations. First, one is Einstein’s special relativity theory and second one is general relativity theory. Concepts included in theory of relativity consider space-time as a single unified entity. According to concepts of theory of relativity, following are the elements of unified entity of space-time:Space and time (of course)Relativity of simultaneityKinematicDilation gravitational timeLength contraction 
    Term of relative theory was firstly used by Max Planck in 1906. The whole theory of relativity is based on this term. Max Planck described how the principles of relativity theory could be applied on practical events and various theories. Later on, in the same discussion term Theory of relativity was used by Alfred Bucherer. 
    Relativity theory is considered a unified representative of multiple physical theories. Concepts from more than one physical theory are explained and broadly discussed in this theory, which makes this theory real broad and deep. During 20th century concepts and ideas of theory of relativity has transformed many theoretical concepts of physics and astronomy. In the most basic version of theory of relativity, 200-year old theory of mechanics was used as a base for further studies and descriptions. Isaac Newton is said to be the founder of theory of mechanics, not the whole theory but he developed and explained many concepts that are contained in theory of mechanics. The whole concept of gravity was introduced by him. In physics, theory of relativity contributed a lot to develop or improve the concept of elementary particles. Concepts of relativity theory were used to understand interaction of elementary particles more deeply. Theory of relativity also helped the world to move in the right direction to reach enhanced nuclear era. Not only in physics, have theory of relativity also contributed in fields of cosmology and astrophysics. Thanks to the application in theory of relativity, astronomical phenomena were predicted and eventually proved real too. These phenomena are consisting of following:Neutron starsBlack holesGravitational waves 
    As described, Theory of relativity not only helps researches in physics, but also in cosmology and astrophysics. This broad theory became concern for cosmology since the basic concepts as black holes are explained by theory of relativity. Many concepts that are a part of astrophysics use many concepts and ideas of theory of relativity as a base for further researches and explanation. Being a solid combination of multiple theories, theory of relativity becomes a thing of concern for practitioners of physics, astrology, cosmology and astrophysics as well. In this book, main concepts of theory of relativity are covered. Both parts of this theory, which are general relativity and special relativity, are discussed broadly. This short introduction covers from history of this theory and to scope of the very same theory. It will provide a breakthrough in the broad theory of relativity that will help beginners to cover broad concepts easily.

    The water coming out of your tap is four billion years old and might have been slurped by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. We will always have exactly as much water on Earth as we have ever had. Water cannot be destroyed, and it can always be made clean enough for drinking again. In fact, water can be made so clean that it actually becomes toxic. As Charles Fishman brings vibrantly to life in this delightful narrative excursion, water runs our world in a host of awe-inspiring ways, which is both the promise and the peril of our unexplored connections to it. Taking listeners from the wet moons of Saturn to the water-obsessed hotels of Las Vegas, and from a rice farm in the Australian outback to a glimpse into giant vats of soup at Campbell's largest factory, he reveals that our relationship to water is conflicted and irrational, neglected and mismanaged. Whether we will face a water scarcity crisis has little to do with water and everything to do with how we think about water-how we use it, connect with it, and understand it.Portraying and explaining both the dangers-in 2008, Atlanta came just ninety days from running completely out of drinking water-and the opportunities, such as advances in rainwater harvesting and businesses that are making huge breakthroughs in water productivity, The Big Thirst will forever change the way we think about water, our crucial relationship to it, and the creativity we can bring to ensuring we always have plenty of it.
