Technical Workshop Series: Introducing LIME and SHAP (as two great candidates to explain machine learning models)
Presenter: Nasrin Tavakoli
Date: Wednesday, November 15th, 2023
Time: 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Location: 4th Floor (Workshop space) at 300 Ouellette Avenue (School of Computer Science Advanced Computing Hub)
LATECOMERS WILL NOT BE ADMITTED once the presentation has begun.
Abstract:
The session unfolds with a comprehensive review of XAI, exploring its pivotal role in enhancing the interpretability of complex machine learning models. Delve into the specifics of LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations) and SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), two leading methodologies in the XAI landscape. Participants will gain a nuanced understanding of how LIME crafts locally faithful explanations, while SHAP employs cooperative game theory to reveal global feature contributions. A critical comparison between LIME and SHAP will unravel their distinct attributes, empowering attendees to make informed choices in their XAI endeavors.
