Model-agnostic methods function independently of the underlying internal model architecture.
The Power of Model-Agnostic Interpretability: Understanding AI Beyond the Black Box Introduction Artificial Intelligence has evolved from simple linear regressions to complex, deep-learning architectures that often function as “black boxes.” While these models achieve remarkable predictive accuracy, they frequently fail to explain why they arrived at a specific decision. This lack of transparency is a…
