Exploring Explainability in Machine Learning

Master Seminar, Saarland University, 2024

This seminar course delves into the crucial and evolving field of explainability in machine learning (ML). As ML models become increasingly complex and integral to various domains, understanding how these models make decisions is essential. This course will explore different methodologies for interpreting ML models, including rule-based, attribution-based, example-based, prototype-based, hidden semantics-based, and counterfactual-based approaches. Through a combination of paper readings, discussions, and presentations, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and advancements in making ML models transparent and interpretable.
