Self Interpretable
Self-interpretable machine learning models aim to build transparency and understanding directly into the model's architecture and training process, rather than relying on post-hoc explanations. Current research focuses on developing such models across various architectures, including convolutional neural networks and those tailored for specific applications like gigapixel image analysis and time series forecasting (e.g., using generalized additive models). This approach addresses the limitations of post-hoc methods by providing more reliable and user-friendly interpretations, improving trust and facilitating better decision-making in high-stakes domains like healthcare and power grid management. The ultimate goal is to enhance the usability and accountability of complex machine learning systems.
