There are 3 modules in this course

In this module, you will be introduced to the concept of model-agnostic explainability and will explore techniques and approaches for local and global explanations. You will learn how to explain and implement local explainability techniques LIME, SHAP, and ICE plots, global explainable techniques including functional decomposition, PDP, and ALE plots, and example-based explanations in Python. You will apply these learnings through discussions, guided programming labs, and a quiz assessment.
