Interpretable Machine Learning
Course content
We will cover various topics on supervised learning (regression, classification) on tabular data.
- Introduction of various machine learning methods. Topics may include but are not limited to: additive models, tree based methods, neural networks, multivariate adaptive splines
- Discussoion on interpretability. Various topics on interpretable machine learning, including Partial Dependence Plots (PDP), Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanation (LIME) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) values.

Knowledge:
- Regression & Classification with machine learning methods
- Various machine learning interpretation methods
- Understand the innerworking and limitations of those methods
Skills:
A general ability to use and the select the right machine learning method to solve practical problems
Competences:
- Use R relating to the course area
4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of exercises per week for 7 weeks.
Lecture notes
A class in regression is very useful. It is possible to follow
the class without these, but of course it will be more demanding.
