  1. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Introductions • I’m an

    engineering data scientist • Consulting in AI + Data Science for 15+ years Blog->IanOzsvald.com
  2. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Goals today • Can

    I calculate on Pandas in parallel? • Can I automate my machine learning? • Is my regression working? • Why did it make that decision? • Github for examples: Builds on PyConUK 2016 – my introduction to Random Forests as a worked process with examples and graphs
  3. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Dask for Medium Data

    Tasks • Pandas-compatible parallel processor • Runs on many cores and machines • Also see: Automated data exploration by Víctor Zabalza at PyConUK 2017 • http://ianozsvald.com/2017/06/07/kaggles -quora-question-paris-competition/
  4. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 TPOT • Used on

    Kaggle Mercedes (6 week competition, 5 days of my effort) • In top 50% result with little more than TPOT and a few days • Ensembled 3 estimators (2 from TPOT) • http://ianozsvald.com/2017/07/01/kaggl es-mercedes-benz-greener-manufacturing
  5. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Why explain our models?

    • Check that our model works as we’d expect in the real world – are the “important features” really important? Are they noise? • Help colleagues gain confidence in the model • Diagnose if certain examples are poorly understood
  6. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Boston housing data •

    Regress median-value (MEDV) from other features • LSTAT - ‘low status %’ • RM - ‘median rooms’ • 13 features overall • 506 rows
  7. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Yellowbrick • Lots of

    visualisations that plug into sklearn • Classification – class balance, confusion matrix • Regression – y vs ŷ, residual errors • Presented at PyDataLondon 2017 • http://www.scikit-yb.org/en/latest/
  8. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 ELI5 • “Explain it

    like I’m 5!” • Feature Importance via Permutation Importance • Prediction explanations including text • Sklearn, XGBoost, LightGBM • http://eli5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
  9. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 ELI5 - Permutation Importance

    • Model agnostic, hopefully not skewed • Useful with both RF and linear models RandomForest's feature importances:
  10. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Explaining the regression •

    ELI5 & LIME can explain single examples • Expensive house – many rooms, low LSTAT %, good pupil/teacher ratio • Cheap house – high LSTAT %, few rooms, maybe high nitric oxide pollution and lower pupil/teacher ratio • These interpretations are different to the global feature importances • Also see Kat Jarmul’s keynote @ PyDataWarsaw 2017: https://blog.kjamistan.com/towards-interpretable-reliable-models • Michał Łopuszyński @ PyDataWarsaw https://www.slideshare.net/lopusz/debugging-machinelearning
  11. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 ELI5 explanation • Model

    specific • Explain “46.8” • Expensive property • RM & LSTAT • Some PTRATIO
  12. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 ELI5 explain many examples

    Few rooms, close to employment centres, lower LSTAT% Many rooms (big houses!)
  13. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 LIME (circa 2016) •

    Locally linear classifiers built around the 1 data point you want to explain • Model agnostic, even images & text! • https://github.com/marcotcr/lime
  14. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 LIME • 10.99 predicted

    (cheap property) • Strong negative influences (from the mean price) – LSTAT, RM, NOX, ... Caveats: http://eli5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/blackbox/lime.html
  15. [email protected] @IanOzsvald[.com] PyDataBudapest / BudapestBI 2017 Closing... • Diagnose your

    ML just like you debug your code – explain its working to colleagues • Write-up: http://ianozsvald.com/ • Training next year – what do you need? • Questions in exchange for beer :-) • Learn something? Please send me a postcard! • See my longer diagnosis Notebook on github:
