Human in the loop: Bayesian Rules Enabling Explainable AI
The document provides an overview of a presentation on enabling explainable artificial intelligence through Bayesian rule lists. Some key points:
- The presentation will cover challenges with model opacity, defining interpretability, and how Bayesian rule lists can be used to build naturally interpretable models through rule extraction.
- Bayesian rule lists work well for tabular datasets and generate human-understandable "if-then-else" rules. They aim to optimize over pre-mined frequent patterns to construct an ordered set of conditional statements.
- There is often a tension between model performance and interpretability. Bayesian rule lists can achieve accuracy comparable to more opaque models like random forests on benchmark datasets while maintaining interpretability.

Demonstration of core knowledge
The following section demonstrates the core knowledge that I am qualified to graduate from Mechanical Engineering graduate program.
This section will focus on two different fields:
· Material properties and Selection
· Simulation of processes
In Material properties and Selection field, the main concept is to identify the different properties of material to meet the requirement of the design. This is the early step for mechanical engineer to select the material for manufacturing products, which means by obtaining this knowledge I am capable of implementing what I learn to help designing a product for a company. For example, the core knowledge that I obtained in one of my graduate classes can demonstrate this field. The final project of the class, shown in Fig 1., is the standard procedure of early design that will be used for manufacturing industries. The result of the project shows that I am capable of using the trade-off plot which include several factors density, Young’s modulus, yield strength, and cost to identify the material that meet constrains and objectives of the design. Moreover, understanding the definition of each material property and the corresponding limitation. Such as density will affect the mass and volume and yield strength indicates the limit if elastic behavior are the basic and also the requirement of being a master student of mechanical engineering.
Fig. 1 Material Selection Trade-off Plot
For the second field, Simulation of processes, before any complex or costly manufacturing process. It is indispensable to run the simulation before the actual process. Not only the error can be predicted in the result of the simulation but the overall result of the end product. For example, the casting process for an impeller, a rotor with blades used to increase the pressure and/or flow of a fluid, is challenging and also easy to fail. However, with the help of simulating the process, shown in Fig. 2 &3, the failure of the casting process is able to be predicted by identifying the location of maximum principle, which the growth of the crack will occur in direction perpendicular to, and maximum normal stress, which the failure will occur, to improve the actual casting process and prevent the failure of a process.
Fig. 2 Identidy the maximum principle stressFig. 3 Identify the maximun normal stress
Both two fields listed above, Material properties and Selection and Simulation of processes,
demonstrate the essential core knowledge that I obtained while studying master of mechanical engineering. The first enable me to determine which material is the most suitable for the product, which allow me to work as a design engineer. The latter help me simulate the manufacturing process which can also help me with my future to work as a process engineer.

It tested several methods for gathering data, including freeform interviews, structured question lists, and paper forms. It determined that structured notes assigned to questions may be the best format. Creating an effective digital tool for self-service data gathering poses challenges. Interviews can provide more useful data but are labor intensive. Information for event planners often comes from representatives of community groups rather than directly from users. Highlighting archetypal users may help effectively summarize bulk research.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
