Serg Masís

Serg Masís has been at the confluence of the internet, application development, and analytics for the last two decades. Currently, he's a climate and agronomic data scientist at Syngenta, a leading agribusiness company with a mission to improve global food security. Before that role, he co-founded a start-up, incubated by Harvard Innovation Labs, that combined the power of cloud computing and machine learning with principles in decision-making science to expose users to new places and events. Whether it pertains to leisure activities, plant diseases, or customer lifetime value, Serg is passionate about providing the often-missing link between data and decision-making—and machine learning interpretation helps bridge this gap robustly.

Summary

After reading this chapter, we covered some traditional methods for interpretability and what their limitations are. We learned about intrinsically interpretable models and how to both use them and interpret them, for both regression and classification. We also studied the performance versus interpretability trade-off and some models that attempt not to compromise in this trade-off. We also discovered many practical interpretation challenges involving the roles of feature selection and engineering, hyperparameters, domain experts, and execution speed.

In the next chapter, we will learn more about different interpretation methods to measure the effect of a feature on a model.
