Amazon AIF-C01 Exam - Topic 1 Question 25 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's AIF-C01 exam

Question #: 25
Topic #: 1

A company makes forecasts each quarter to decide how to optimize operations to meet expected demand. The company uses ML models to make these forecasts.

An AI practitioner is writing a report about the trained ML models to provide transparency and explainability to company stakeholders.

What should the AI practitioner include in the report to meet the transparency and explainability requirements?

ACode for model training

BPartial dependence plots (PDPs)

CSample data for training

DModel convergence tables

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Partial dependence plots (PDPs) are visual tools used to show the relationship between a feature (or a set of features) in the data and the predicted outcome of a machine learning model. They are highly effective for providing transparency and explainability of the model's behavior to stakeholders by illustrating how different input variables impact the model's predictions.

Option B (Correct): 'Partial dependence plots (PDPs)': This is the correct answer because PDPs help to interpret how the model's predictions change with varying values of input features, providing stakeholders with a clearer understanding of the model's decision-making process.

Option A: 'Code for model training' is incorrect because providing the raw code for model training may not offer transparency or explainability to non-technical stakeholders.

Option C: 'Sample data for training' is incorrect as sample data alone does not explain how the model works or its decision-making process.

Option D: 'Model convergence tables' is incorrect. While convergence tables can show the training process, they do not provide insights into how input features affect the model's predictions.

AWS AI Practitioner Reference:

Explainability in AWS Machine Learning: AWS provides various tools for model explainability, such as Amazon SageMaker Clarify, which includes PDPs to help explain the impact of different features on the model's predictions.

I remember we discussed the importance of including visualizations like PDPs for explaining model behavior, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best choice here.

I'm leaning towards the model convergence tables. That would give the stakeholders insight into how well the models are performing and whether they're converging properly. Plus, it's a more technical detail that shows the rigor of the modeling process.

Okay, I've got this. The report should include partial dependence plots to show how the key features impact the model's predictions. That will help the stakeholders understand the model's logic and decision-making process.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know we need to explain the models, but I'm not sure if the code or sample data is the best approach. Maybe something like partial dependence plots would be more helpful for stakeholders?

This seems like a straightforward question about transparency and explainability for ML models. I think the key is to focus on providing information that helps stakeholders understand how the models work and make decisions.

I bet the stakeholders are just going to flip a coin to decide the answer. 'Heads, we go with the code. Tails, we use the sample data.' Either way, they'll probably end up just as confused as before.
