With Dr.Agus Sudjianto from Wells Fargo

As more and more machine learning models are being adopted by financial companies, concern is growing on how to trust decisions made by these models. Do we know how the models work?

How will they behave in edge cases? Can they be used in real-world settings. Dr. Agus Sudjianto is a pioneer in Model Risk Management. An accomplished researcher with many publications to his name, Agus discusses his latest paper that provides a methodology to unwrap the black box of deep neural networks through exact local linear representations. He also discusses the newly open sourced package from Wells Fargo, Aletheia!
