Concept Bottleneck Model
Definition
The Concept Bottleneck Model is a type of artificial intelligence that makes predictions based on concepts that are easy for humans to understand. This makes the AI's decisions clearer and more transparent.
Where you’ll find it
This feature typically integrates into AI platforms and tools that focus on making machine learning models understandable, such as in healthcare or legal technology systems.
Common use cases
- In medical diagnostics, to explain how a model concludes a particular diagnosis.
- In legal applications, to clarify the basis of AI-driven recommendations or decisions.
- In any industry where understanding how and why an AI system makes a decision is crucial.
Things to watch out for
- The accuracy of a Concept Bottleneck Model might sometimes be slightly lower than more complex models because it prioritizes simplicity and understandability.
- It requires clear, well-defined concepts, which can limit its application in areas with ambiguous or highly complex data.
- It is important to keep the model updated with relevant concepts to maintain its effectiveness and accuracy.
