H2O Driverless AI provides robust interpretability of machine learning models to explain modeling results. H2O Driverless AI now has added the ability to perform disparate impact analysis to test for sociological biases in models. This new feature allows for users to analyze whether a model produces adverse outcomes for different demographic groups even if those features were not included in the original model. These checks are critical for regulated industries where demographic biases in the data can creep into models causing adverse effects on protected groups.
H2O Driverless AI provides interpretable-by-design models including linear models, monotonic gradient boosting and RuleFit. In its machine learning interpretability module, Driverless AI employs a host of different techniques and methodologies for explaining the results of its models like K-LIME, Shapley, variable importance, decision tree and partial dependence views.
“In a regulated industry such as banking, the ability to explain what any model does is an absolute requirement. Decisions made by models must not only be sound but also must be fair. The team at H2O.ai has tackled this with machine learning interpretability and disparate impact analysis to detect bias and fairness. H2O.ai by far has the most sophisticated and complete tools to address these critical requirements for data scientists today,” said Agus Sudjianto, EVP and Head of Corporate Model Risk at Wells Fargo.
