Submit

4. What is the primary limitation of increasing model interpretability through simpler architectures?

It increases computational cost

It may reduce model accuracy and performance

It requires more training data

It makes the model harder to deploy

5. Gradient-based attribution methods compute how much each input feature contributes to the model's output.

True

False

6. Why is explainability important in regulated industries like finance and healthcare?

It reduces the cost of model training

It allows stakeholders to understand and verify model decisions for compliance and accountability

It eliminates the need for human oversight

It automatically removes bias from predictions

Submit

8. In the context of AI explainability, what does 'model-agnostic' mean?

The technique works regardless of the specific model architecture

The model must be a neural network

The explanation only applies to one type of algorithm

The model cannot be updated after deployment

9. Which of the following is NOT a common explainability technique?

Feature attribution

Saliency maps

Batch normalization

Partial dependence plots

10. Counterfactual explanations describe what changes to inputs would be needed to change the model's prediction.

True

False

11. What does AI explainability primarily refer to?

The ability to explain why an AI system made a specific decision or prediction

The speed at which an AI model processes data

The amount of training data required for a model

The computational resources needed to run an AI system

Submit

13. What is a potential ethical concern with using black-box AI models in high-stakes decisions?

They are always more accurate than interpretable models

Users cannot understand or challenge the reasoning behind decisions

They require more training data than other models

They are slower to make predictions

Submit

15. Which model type is generally considered most interpretable?

Deep neural networks with many hidden layers

Decision trees and linear regression models

Ensemble methods with thousands of trees

Recurrent neural networks

16. Interpretability and explainability are the same concept.

True

False

17. What is SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations)?

A framework that assigns each feature a value based on its contribution to the prediction

A method for compressing large datasets

A technique for removing bias from training data

A tool for automating model deployment

18. LIME stands for Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations. What is its primary purpose?

To increase model accuracy through ensemble methods

To explain individual predictions by approximating the model locally with an interpretable model

To reduce the size of neural networks

To automatically label training data

19. Which of the following is a characteristic of a 'black-box' AI model?

Its decision-making process is transparent and easily understood

Its internal logic is opaque, making it difficult to explain predictions

It only uses structured data for training

It requires less computational power than interpretable models
