The What-If Tool: Code-Free Probing of Machine Learning Models

How would changes to a datapoint affect my model’s prediction? Does it perform differently for various groups–for example, historically marginalized people? How diverse is the dataset I am testing my model on?

The What-If Tool, showing a set of 250 face pictures and their results from a model that detects smiles. Exploring what-if scenarios on a datapoint. Comparing counterfactuals.

Comparing the performance of two slices of data on a smile detection model, with their classification thresholds set to satisfy the “equal opportunity” constraint. Detecting misclassifications: A multiclass classification model, which predicts plant type from four measurements of a flower from the plant. The tool is helpful in showing the decision boundary of the model and what causes misclassifications.

This model is trained with the UCI iris dataset.

Foundations Machine Learning

Bloomberg presents ‘Foundations of Machine Learning,’ a training course that was initially delivered internally to the company’s software engineers as part of its ‘Machine Learning EDU’ initiative. This course covers a wide variety of topics in machine learning and statistical modeling. The primary goal of the class is to help participants gain a deep understanding of the concepts, techniques and mathematical frameworks used by experts in machine learning.

AI System Approved For Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis

AI System Approved For Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis

A system designed by a University of Iowa ophthalmologist that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect diabetic retinopathy without a person interpreting the results earned Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorization in April, following a clinical trial in primary care offices. Results of that study were published Aug. 28 online in Nature Digital Medicine, offering the first look at data that led to FDA clearance for IDx-DR, the first medical device that uses AI for the autonomous detection of diabetic retinopathy. The clinical trial, which also was the first study to prospectively assess the safety of an autonomous AI system in patient care, compared the performance of IDx-DR to the gold standard diagnostic for diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading cause of vision loss in adults and one of the most severe complications for the 30.3 million Americans living with diabetes.
