About Benoît

Engineering graduate, specialist in Explainable Machine Learning; I assist you in extracting relevant information from your data, while detailing the reasoning deployed by the algorithms.

Why Explainable Machine Learning (MLE) rather than simple Machine Learning (ML)?

In ML, when a prediction is requested, there is a score between 0 and 1 for an propensity to an event; typically a purchase probability. This number remains opaque. By delving into the internal parameters of the model, an illustration of the intelligence deployed by the algorithm can be extracted, and used to inform the business. This is the object of MLE.

MLE brings in addition to ML:
  • Direction, Strategy: a data-driven, fine, and exhaustive mapping of customer segments; the opening of markets that pass under the signal;
  • Data scientists: faster debugging, a focus on explanation
  • Marketing, Sales: messages more finely adapted to customers
  • Ethics, Audits: knowing the biases hidden in the data
  • For the company: data-driven v2.0: Culture of relevant signal, linking the revenue generated to the power of information from an individual information

This set of techniques, also called eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is a burgeoning subject at the moment. The American agency DARPA has a program on this theme ("Explainable Artificial Intelligence" - darpa.mil/program/explainable-artificial-intelligence). The Villani mission devoted an entire chapter to it (06 "Opening the black boxes of AI").
