NEW YORK and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- H2O.ai, the open leader in AI, announced today that Patrick Hall, senior director of product at H2O.ai, adjunct professor and co-author of the recent O'Reilly booklet "An Introduction to Machine Learning Interpretability," will be speaking at the upcoming NYC Big Data Science Meetup, held in conjunction with O'Reilly AI, on April 30 about interpretable machine learning techniques. Hall will be joined by Navdeep Gill, engineer and data scientist at H2O.ai, who has made significant technical contributions to H2O.ai's unique interpretability capabilities in its enterprise product, Driverless AI.

The talk titled, "Building Explainable Machine Learning Systems: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," will help data scientists make interpretable machine learning projects a success by describing fundamental technical challenges they will face in building an interpretable machine learning system, define the real-world value proposition of approximate explanations for exact models, and then outline viable techniques for debugging, explaining, and testing machine learning models.

NYC Big Data Science Meetup

When: Monday, April 30, 2018, 6:30-8:00pm ET

Where: New York Hilton Midtown, 1335 6th Avenue, New York

Topic: The talk will include a complete discussion on MLI with the good news that building fair, accountable, and transparent machine learning systems is possible. The bad news: it's harder than many blogs and software package docs report it to be. The truth is that nearly all interpretable machine learning techniques generate approximate explanations, that the fields of eXplainable AI (XAI) and Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in Machine Learning (FAT/ML) are very new, and that few best practices have been widely agreed upon. This combination can lead to some ugly outcomes. Plenty of guidance on when, and when not, to use these techniques will also be shared, and the session will conclude by providing guidelines for testing generated explanations themselves for accuracy and stability.

Copies of the booklet co-authored by Patrick Hall and Navdeep Gill will be handed out at the event, or can be downloaded here: http://www.oreilly.com/data/free/an-introduction-to-machine-learning-interpretability.csp
