For fast and increased learning accuracy, it uses discriminative techniques, deriving algorithms that compose NNs and support vector machines with TPLMs, using interpretability as a bias to learn more interpretable models.

(36) These criteria evaluate quality and measurement properties in the following domains: content validity, internal consistency, criterion validity, construct validity, reproducibility (including agreement and reliability), responsiveness, floor and ceiling effects and interpretability. Each dimension is evaluated based on whether the measurement properties of the questionnaires meet methodological quality criteria using four rating categories: a) positive rating (+), b) indeterminate rating (?), c) negative rating (-) and d) no information available (0).

But when these same big data developments led to issues of interpretability and "explainability," and when people or intelligent systems simply relied on quantifiable algorithmic outputs with limited understanding of their biases or the reasons behind them, intervention--in the form of regulatory mandates and penalties--also quite naturally arose.
