Abstract
The past decade has seen a tremendous increase in machine learning research, particularly in deep learning techniques. These methods have proven to be highly effective in various domains, including health care, finance, genomics, image processing, and text analytics. However, machine learning has its limitations, particularly in the lack of transparency behind its behaviors, which leaves users with little understanding of how decisions are made by these models...
