AI Books: Trust, Deep Learning, and Interpretability

This document discusses three books related to artificial intelligence: 1) "Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust" which argues that deep learning, while useful, is also distracting from other important areas of AI research. It encourages a broader view of AI. 2) "Deep Learning" which is described as one of the best textbooks, covering both deep learning and machine learning fundamentals, but is very technical and intended for graduate students. 3) "Interpretable Machine Learning" which focuses on making complex models more explainable and addressing the risk that arises as models become more sophisticated but also less understandable.

Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust by Gary Marcus and

Ernest Davis

I see this book as being kind of a shot across the bow of the deep
learning/connectionist camp, which has sort of taken over the discussion around
artificial intelligence. In fact, the leading connectionist conference, NeurIPS,
just recently took place. There are several different traditional ML camps;
connectionism is neural networks — same idea.

NeurIPS has gotten so popular that they had to institute a ticket lottery this
year. [The previous year] sold out in a matter of minutes; the site went down — it
was just like a rock concert. And this is an academic conference.

Rebooting AI argues, let's take stock of artificial intelligence, our goals and
what useful AI would look like, and ask ourselves, How close to this does deep
learning — and NeurIPS is the deep learning/neural network camp — really get us?
The thesis basically is: It gets us down the road in some ways, but in a whole host
of areas it doesn't get us anywhere we need to get.

And all the attention applied to deep learning right now is, in the authors’ view,
somewhat distracting from other areas that could yield fruit. They're trying to
encourage a broader view of AI, revisiting some of the more classical AI camps and
disciplines — looking at work that's 40 and 50 years old in some cases as being
integral to the advancement of artificial intelligence. It’s a very good book that
helps temper the euphoria over deep learning.

Courville

This is one of the best textbooks I've ever read, period. It focuses on deep
learning, but it covers the fundamentals of machine learning. It just does a very
good job of being very information-dense but also very accessible.

It’s very technical, so it's probably not for everybody. It’s definitely not in the
category of popular topics in AI. It's an advanced textbook that would be taught in
a graduate-level course, and [readers] would need a number of mathematics
prerequisites to understand it. You can read it and get [something from it], but to
actually treat it as a textbook, you're in full-on grad-program mode at that point.

Molar

This is also very technical, very much a textbook, but it talks about some areas
that are quite a bit more directly important to our clients [at Guild AI]. It’s a
guide for making black boxes explainable.

Probably the defining problem of our day is that, as you start to become more
sophisticated and your models become more complex, the ability to understand those
models — why they're doing what they're doing, why they're making the predictions
that they're making — becomes much more difficult.

That’s part of the double-edged sword in AI. AI has a lot of promise, but as you
start to move toward that promise, your risks go up proportionately — where models
do things that are not just mysterious , but potentially quite dangerous depending
on the application. s
