Debugging a Pot Plant Detector | FREE Python Course | L1 - The Importance of XAI in Computer Vision

I have too many houseplants—and what better way to manage them than by building a machine learning model? But what if the model ends up being right for the wrong reasons?

In this video, we:
🌱 Build a dataset of my four plants: Rudo, Baya, Greg, and Yuki.
📸 Train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify plant images.
🤔 Use Explainable AI (XAI) methods to uncover a critical flaw in the model.

When evaluating the model on new data, I discovered it was using pot colors—not plants—to make predictions. This bias revealed how easily machine learning models can fail if datasets aren't diverse enough.

This video is an introduction to my free Explainable AI for Computer Vision course, where you'll learn how XAI methods like Grad-CAM, SHAP, and occlusion mapping can uncover hidden biases, improve fairness, and build trust in your models.
