What is Deep Learning?

• AKA: Neural Networks or Neural Nets
• Special area of Machine Learning
• Requires more data
• Best when inputs that are images or text

Explainable AI

Deep Learning	Explainable AI
Highly accurate predictions	Understandable by humans
Better for "What?"	Better for "Why?"

Case Study: Explainable AI

1. Prediction: What a customer is likely to do
2. Explanation: Why a customer is likely to do it

Case Study: Inexplicable AI

Prediction only: Which letter is this likely to be?

When to use Deep Learning

1. Is the training data complex?
2. Do we have a very large amount of training data?
3. Does the model need to be predictive or explanatory?

Let's practice!
