SHAP
A game theoretic approach to explain the output of ml models
SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is a game theoretic approach to explain the output of any machine learning model.

Guide to Open Source Deep Learning Frameworks
Open source deep learning frameworks are programming libraries that enable developers to build and train AI models for a variety of tasks, including computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. Unlike traditional software development tools, open source deep learning libraries have extensible architecture that is designed to make the process of constructing complex models simpler and more efficient.
Deep learning frameworks can be categorized into three main types: low-level libraries such as TensorFlow or PyTorch; high-level image recognition libraries like OpenCV; and end-to-end systems like Caffe or Keras. Low-level deep learning frameworks provide basic building blocks for building AI programs—neural networks, loss functions, optimization algorithms, etc.—while high-level ones focus on creating production ready model architectures with minimal effort. End-to-end systems are geared towards tasks where users can simply plug in data to get an output without worrying about the complexity of underlying machine learning algorithms.
One advantage that open source deep learning frameworks offer over proprietary solutions is cost savings since they’re free to use. Additionally these frameworks are typically highly customizable due to their modularized design philosophy which enables developers to mix and match components for optimal performance depending on the application at hand. Furthermore there’s usually a large community of users who regularly share tips & tricks and contribute code back to the project, enabling easier bug fixes & feature additions from experienced programmers all around the world. Finally due to their popularity open source deep learning platforms often contain popular features & improvements not found in commercial products which makes them ideal candidates for enterprise level applications or research projects alike.
