Welcome back to 21 convention the first 21 summit it gives me distinct pleasure and honor to introduce our following to guest a man who you will know who many despise and are envied. I also want to pay attention to the fact that he may be known as Anthony Dream Johnson but I think that's a name that should probably be changed because in reality is he just doesn't dream he achieves.  He's a man who at a very young age through sheer will and audacity created this event more than a decade ago. He didn't stop there year after year he kept delivering this event more content more speakers and brought the men's movement forward. Additionally recently we had a separation and had an inclusion of specific events for fathers and particularly the notion of transcending multiple generations into something we refer to as the patriarchy or as society knows it the best system of governments and child ring known to mankind. He dared to do that. This year he did something truly remarkable something truly audacious.  That conversation gentlemen is verboten. You are simply not allowed to have it. You see it reflected in media appearances in media attacks social media personal attacks I've seen delivered at him and how he's treated and regarded in society on a whole and yet the man dares. He just didn't dare but he delivered this year. We had the first ever 22 con event specifically for women where men talk to women about the nature of our relationships about how are we're meant to be together and the conflicts and anxieties we share sexually in relationships with them. It struck a chord. This will not be the last time you see it. Right now I have the distinct pleasure to introduce the first man of first president of the Manusphere. Anthony dream Johnson.  Yeah day four guys this is it your last day and I really appreciate you coming out you know like you mentioned getting it done this year taking action stepping up not just for the women but for you guys too. This year is you know the craziest year in my life by far at 32 years old 2020 is totally bananas.  Now without further ado welcome to the state of the Manusphere 2020. Before we dig into the actual presentation for today I want to highlight my 2019 speech at the first ever 21 convention in Poland we held that last year in the summer back in July Warsaw Poland beautiful country beautiful city beautiful people. This speech was actually titled or that speech was titled the Manusphere it's now at a 21 university and YouTube on our channel 21 studios and this is actually the screenshot of thumbnail for it.


So we've talked about the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban. We've talked a lot about the situation and the lead up to the disaster that we're seeing now. But I want to shift gears and focus on the aftermath. I think that we have to be absolutely clear here. Withdrawing was the correct answer. I agree with Joe Biden. This was the difficult but necessary thing to do. I mean staying there indefinitely was not a feasible plan. But I mean if we waited another year, two years, five years, ten years, I don't think that that's going to change the outcome. I think it was inevitable that the Taliban would regain control of Afghanistan once we leave. I mean it's hard to nation build in a country that's very different from the United States. Like here we have a national identity. We see each other as Americans. Maybe you see yourself as a New Yorker or a Californian. I'm an Oregonian. Ultimately we do still have this national identity. But that wasn't necessarily the case with Afghanistan. So in a lot of these countries, the borders were drawn straight through tribes. So a lot of people, they don't necessarily feel that national identity that other western countries feel. They feel more loyal to their community, their family members and their tribes. So to try to create an entire country with all of these differences, it's really, really tough. And democracies are very fragile, especially in the beginning. So I think that basically it was inevitable that the country would collapse. But here's what we've got to do. We've got to make things right. Since we ruined Afghanistan, we need to open our doors to as many refugees as possible to stop as much of the damage as we possibly can. Even though I'm in favor of the withdrawal, it is absolutely gut wrenching to see the humanitarian crisis unfold. It is absolutely gut wrenching to see people be subjected to violence and want to flee, but they're unable to escape the country. Anyone who was a contractor that worked with the US government, anyone who served as an interpreter, anyone in the Afghan military who might be viewed as a traitor, anyone who was in a position of power, female judges who are no longer going to be accepted by the Taliban, they have to be granted amnesty. I know that a lot of people are looking at the 88,000 individuals who worked with the US and we're trying to prioritize them getting their visas, but it should be more than that. We should accept lots, millions of people because it's only right that we correct part of our wrongdoing. I mean, you'll never undo the damage that we caused, but allowing people from Afghanistan to resettle here is the humane thing to do. It's the least that we can do. But of course, immediately after it was evident that there would be a humanitarian and subsequent refugee crisis, well, the usual suspects on the right were already screaming against that. Charlie Kirk said that he doesn't believe this is a good thing because, well, I'll just let him tell you. It's pretty transparent. President Joe Biden's Department of Defense will accept 30,000 Afghan refugees in the military installations following the collapse of Kabul. Boom. Political transformation. Let the country crumble. Do you know there's 5 million displaced people in Afghanistan now? This was all intentional. Joe Biden let it fall apart to now say, oh, I'm so sorry. I guarantee you Joe Biden's speech this afternoon will talk about refugee assistance and relocation support. Now Joe Biden's going to be scrambling to make good on it and the liberal media will love it. They'll say, oh, yes. Okay, now I get it. Joe Biden is now fixing his own problem. Joe Biden is stepping up and he's allowing a flow of people from the Middle East into America. Thank you, Joe Biden. You're such a hero. So benevolent. You're so respectful. You're so compassionate. Do you see what's going on here? What's going on here is Joe Biden wants a couple hundred thousand more Elon Omars to come into America to change the body politic permanently. We're playing checkers and they're playing chess. He is this close to talking about the great replacement explicitly. He's really, really getting closer and closer to just saying the 14 words. You are disgusting, Charlie Kirk.   Joe Biden wants a couple hundred thousand more Elon Omars to come into America to change the body politic permanently. It's not that we ruin the country so it's the right thing to do to open our doors to people from Afghanistan. No, it's, you know, this motivation to just transform the country, erase white people, bring in more Democrats. That's the conspiracy theory that he is propagating here.  When it comes to Ilhan Omar, I would take a hundred thousand, a couple hundred thousand. Hell, I'll take a million Ilhan Omars in exchange for you. For every Charlie Kirk that we could send to Afghanistan, like if we brought over a million Ilhan Omars, that would be incredible. That'd be based. Ilhan Omar is one of the few members of Congress who actually cares about American citizens, but he's pretending as if that's a bad thing. To bring in more very progressive humane people. That's a bad thing. And it's not, you know, because of Ilhan Omar's politics. Let's be clear here. It's because she's brown. It's because she's a Muslim. That's what he's afraid about, right? He doesn't want white people to be replaced. Tucker Carlson talked about this and he doubled and tripled down. But moving on to the fuckwads at Fox News. Of course, they were also against the refugee crisis and immediately started their fearmongering campaign against Afghanistan people coming here. Here's what Laura Ingraham had to say. And is it really our responsibility to welcome thousands of potentially unvetted refugees from Afghanistan? All day, we've heard phrases like, we promise them. Well, who did? Did you? Yes, it is our responsibility. We ruined their country, Laura. So it's only right that we give them the opportunity to rebuild here. Allow them to make America their homes. We need to get out as many people as we possibly can. I mean, the fact that you would be against this. I mean, I'm assuming that she's against any refugees being admitted from Afghanistan because she's just a heartless person. She is extremely xenophobic and she wouldn't admit any if she had her way, but that's incredibly disgusting. I mean, some of these people worked with the US government. Aren't you a patriot?  I mean, they worked with America. Don't you think that they earned citizenship? I mean, you may not like what they were doing in serving like our military interests abroad, but they still were working with our government. And now they're going to be viewed as traders. So if we don't bring them here, while it's a Taliban doesn't honor their blanket amnesty plan, which I don't expect them to, then they're going to be slaughtered. Is it really worth them getting slaughtered than just like bringing them here? I mean, these people are heartless, but Tucker Carlson was also against this unsurprisingly. Take a look. So we're getting it. And if history is any guide and it's always a guide, we will see many refugees from Afghanistan resettle in our country in coming months, probably in your neighborhood. And over the next decade, that number may swell to the millions. So first we invade and then we're invaded. It is always the same. We'll be spending a lot more time on that subject in recent in coming weeks because it matters. Oh, I'm sure you will. I mean, he's so brazen.  Like he used to be a better propagandist, but now he's just like he's blatantly trying to fear among or he's blatantly trying to get you to be fearful. We'll see many refugees from Afghanistan resettle in our country in the coming months, probably in your neighborhood. Oh, that would be terrible. You should be afraid. Look, if Afghanistan refugees resettled in my neighborhood, I think that would be awesome. I would love to speak with them and have a conversation with them. Like when I was going to school, I was in a PhD program with a lot of international students from around the world and they were the most fascinating people to talk to. Like their life experiences were different. You know, their culture was different and those conversations that I had with them were fascinating. I would love to have members from Afghanistan in my community because guess what?  I'm in favor of the human race. We're all the same. Race is a social construct. And so bringing in people who don't look like me, I don't view that as a negative. I view that as a positive. I think that us learning from people that come from Afghanistan, them sharing their experiences, breaking bread with us, I think that all makes us smarter. And better. And more inclusive. But they don't see it that way. Tucker says, and over the next decade, that number may swell to the millions. So first we invaded them. Now we're being invaded. I mean, how brazen and shameless do you have to be to frame accepting refugees as them invading us? Because they're brown. So we don't want them here. Them coming here is tantamount to an invasion, according to Tucker Carlson.  What a despicable, morally repugnant, morally bankrupt human being. I don't know which one. If you're morally defective or you're just amoral, I don't know what it is. It's a distinction without a difference.   And no, it shouldn't be millions over decades. It should be millions right now.  Let them have a home here.   We emboldened the Taliban. They now have more weapons than ever. They now have a lot of individuals who were trained by the United States, members of the Afghan military, who are going to defect. So I mean, the Taliban is stronger than ever and we did that. So it is our responsibility to let them in here. But I mean, this was all predictable and this is only the beginning of their fear mongering campaign. And if we end up letting in a sizable number of people from Afghanistan, this is going to be what they base their campaigns on in 2022 and 2024.  And we need to do with the humane thing and admit these fellow human beings in because they deserve it. We owe them.


The proposed method improves the accuracy of merging or updating road networks by considering both local and global optimizations, inserting virtual nodes to identify MN matching patterns, and using attribute-related evaluation indicators to evaluate matching accuracy. Experiments show that the overall matching accuracy exceeds 90 percent, increases by 6 to 12 percent after an MN pattern is added, and by 4 to 6 percent following the addition of topology indicators. The proper buffer threshold is about twice the average value of the clasest distance from all nodes. This article was authored by Jianchen Zhong, Yan Hui Wang, and Wenji Zhao.


Now, there's one other thing which I think could be real important, and that is there are three vacancies on ways to meet, and all these fellows are thinking in terms of giving us two of them, and the Republicans one, which would be 17 to 8, and that of course would give us control on Medicare, which we need, but there's a danger of the depletion thing getting out of hand on that, and that's got to be watched real close, and I don't believe the speaker's going to be too interested in that phase. You better just tell him that there's something that you've got to be interested in. Yeah, whether he's well, he's pretty hefty now, and he told me that we've got to liberalize these rules, and then I never have another chance, but we could go too far and hurt the Democratic Party, and in many areas of the country. I hope I can talk to them about that, but I just want you to know that if they had two members, we want to be darn sure that we get somebody. Now, I don't know, I was thinking about maybe Ed Edmonds. He'd be a good one, because he'd go with you on everything except that one thing. Well, I just demand him that far with you. I think we should, although they may take it away from us. This is going to be a wild bunch. I do think there's ways and means things, and I think this purging, too, that ought to be looked at long and solid before we make up our minds we're going to do it. And I have talked, I found it very much inclined to push for strong liberalization to have to give this thing the McCormick image, just as fast as he can, have a strong liberal approach to the liberalization, to the multitudes, to the rules. And now the 21-day rule liberalization, I think, will probably take the form of giving the speaker the authority after 21 days to recognize the chairman of the committee or any other member. If we have that, of course, it won't matter then whether the mills are for Medicare or not. Now, we've passed it. It's a question. We've passed it to a decision. And I think mills will give. I think you'll see. If he doesn't, he's not as smart as I think.

Martha's Vineyard is a it is an island a community that is known for its openness and there's a sign that I've seen on the vineyard since at least 2019 2020 that reads we respect women we value black lives we stand with our LGBTQ community members we stand with immigrants with refugees with indigenous peoples just saying to the folks who visit Martha's Vineyard that you are in a community that prizes diversity and prizes humanity and that's not what we've seen from Abbott or DeSantis five minutes later now these exact same people are applauding Massachusetts for using the military to remove undesirable immigrants trash trash they promised to safeguard to a military base I mean what so I'm noticing this we're not a border town we don't have infrastructure to handle this this type of in a level of immigration to our city but we will we'll create a new normal here in our infrastructure and have a humane welcome for people and an efficient you know service provision but we don't have the ability or not when illegal immigrants come to their cities in towns they call it a political stunt when they overrun border towns and are shipped in the dead of night to middle America well that's just the way it's supposed to be if you didn't already know that these people are NPC elitist scumbags who hate half the country well now you do but none of them compare to the inception of hypocrisy that almost tore through the fabric of space and time created by CNN's John Berman and I promise we'll get right into that clip after I tell you about this free coin offer from Noble Gold Noble Gold CEO Colin Plume thinks that quantitative tightening is setting up the stage for a gold rally in his interview with the National Desk Plume said the tightening is pushing the dollar up however he predicts that by next year the Fed will print money again to restart economic activities if all of this is going over your head and you don't really understand why you should be investing in gold and silver at the moment you should contact Collins team at Noble Gold if you're thinking of gold and silver right now Noble Gold is giving away a free gold American Eagle coin with every eligible IRA or 401k in September you can't go wrong with Noble Gold call the team now at<PHONE_NUMBER> to find out more or visit noblegoldinvestments.com you can also use the link in the description or pin comment make sure to tell them drone tech sent you this is history all of your documentaries are about history but all of them also make you think about where we are now and we woke up to the news this morning that governor Ron DeSantis of Florida sent two plane loads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts including kids and whatnot and I'm not saying this is not a one-for-one this is not a parallel here in any way but it does address some of the same themes that are part of this documentary. I don't like where this is going. Themes that we engage in the past are present today and so when you look at the story that we're telling of the US and the Holocaust you understand that the time to save a democracy is before it's lost we promise you. I'm seriously comparing the relocation of 50 illegal immigrants to the nicest richest place in America to the Holocaust look I know that it must be somehow different when they do it but wasn't this the same guy that just said this? New reporting this morning on evil lunacy that is how Republican Liz Cheney described new statements from Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Evil lunacy and to be honest Cheney was being polite. Equated mask requirements in the house to the Holocaust. A historic it's abhorrent John. It is not only a historic it is abhorrent it's also apparently allowable. Wearing a mask compared to the murder of six million people it's so far beyond the realm of decency it could only possibly be made worse by comments from Marjorie Taylor Greene. This is history all of your documentaries are about history but all of them also make you think about where we are now and we woke up to the news this morning that Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida sent two plain loads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts including kids and whatnot and I'm not saying this is not a one-for-one this is not a parallel here in any way. But it does address some of the same themes. The themes that we engage in the past are present today and so when you look at the story that we're telling of the U.S. and the Holocaust you understand that the time to save a democracy is before it's lost. So you see it's completely different when John Berman compares flying 50 illegal immigrants to the richest nicest place in America to the mass murder of six million people. It's not anti-Semitic or abhorrent when he does it because he got Ken Burns to agree with him. All right it's probably a good time to stop because I'm about to embark on a series of complex embolisms. If you found this video to be informative or entertaining please like share and subscribe.

I've never liked ethics. To me, most ethical questions contain a bunch of unexamined presuppositions and frame philosophical problems in the wrong way. A central question in ethics is, for any given situation, what is the right thing to do? Now growing up in a Christian evangelical household, I heard this question a million times, but I think it's a misleading question which causes more confusion than clarity. For this piece, I'll be using the term ethics loosely and interchangeably with the term morality, which in common usage, they mean the same thing. In my worldview, ethics does not concern itself with right or wrong action. It's not concerned with actions at all. Rather, all ethical problems are about intention. Doing the right thing makes far more sense when understood as having the right intention. Let me give you an example. It's your nephew's birthday and he's turning six. You know that he wants pie as a present. You have all the ingredients necessary on the table and can cook a delicious pie in minutes. You have a choice. Bake the kid a pie or not. Naturally, you make the pie and he eats it, has an allergic reaction, and dies immediately. Your actions directly cause the death of an innocent child. Are you a monster? Morally guilty? Well, from my perspective, the answer is easy. Don't look at the actions, don't look at the conclusions, look at the intent. If you didn't mean to kill the kid, if nobody knew he was allergic to pecans, then you've not done a bad thing. Ethically speaking, your actions are irrelevant. This is true even when we ramp up the stakes. Instead of a simple allergic reaction to pie, let's say you make your nephew some chicken soup. He's ill and you want him to feel better. Fortunately, you have your own chickens, so you know the soup's going to be healthy.  Ah, but little do you know, your chickens were carrying a nasty strain of avian flu. He gets sick and contagious, spreads the disease to the rest of his family members, which ultimately starts a pandemic. Millions of people die. Are you morally responsible for the death of millions? I'd say, of course not. Now, if this is true, if millions of innocent people dying as a consequence of one's action does not determine an action's moral status, then I think we can confidently say that morality has nothing to do with action. Now, let's say instead you knew your chickens were diseased, or that you knew your nephew was allergic to pecans. Well then it becomes equally clear. You intended to kill, so therefore you're morally guilty. I'll give you another example. Say that you wanted to kill your nephew, but you were mistaken about his allergy. He's actually allergic to walnuts, not pecans. So instead of dying, he actually enjoys the pie. You made his day. Your actions directly created happiness in a six-year-old and fulfilled his birthday wishes. Are you in the right? No, of course not. You wanted him dead. The positive results were just an unintended consequence. Thinking about ethics this way gets around a number of problems, like the infamous trolley problems. Consider one version.  A train is headed towards 10 children who are tied to the tracks. If you pull the lever, the train will be diverted to another track, one with five elderly people who are tied to the rails. So the dilemma is this. If you do nothing, 10 children will die, but if you actively intervene, five old people will die. What's the right thing to do?  Or are you only responsible if you intervene and pull the lever? Is it morally okay to substitute a few old people for several young people? Now there's a million different variations to this idea and a million and one different responses. I can't help but find my resolution to be the easiest. There's no right action to take. What's more important is the actor's intention. This means that different people could act differently in the same circumstances. My actions, which would be pulling the lever, will be based on my own sincere valuation to cause the most good in the world. Your actions, say not pulling the lever, might have the exact same intention, although we make opposite choices. Now perhaps, say my pulling the lever to save the children causes more harm than good. Let's say all of those kids that are saved turn out to be little hitlers. While all of those old people that I killed were cancer curing doctors. But morally speaking, it wouldn't matter. My intention was morally correct. Now a skeptic might say, oh Steve, are you saying that anything goes as long as your intention is pure? I'd say yes, although it seems like a dangerous precedent, it actually solves a few more problems. Consider the case of an incompetent person. Let's say that he has brain damage and does not have a clear grasp of cause and effect. In my view, he can still act morally, regardless of the potential damage of his actions. If he sincerely believes swinging a knife around is a loving thing to do, then he's morally correct in doing so. Now this does justify the actions of lunatics, it's true. The religious zealot who blows himself up, if his intention is right and he sincerely acted out of love, then I don't believe he's acted immorally. Now fortunately, I do have one catch. Truly having the right intention means you care about cause and effect. If you love your fellow man, you must understand the importance of researching your beliefs. Acting out of ignorance when avoidable reflects poorly on an individual's intention.  So in essence, morality is entirely internal, it's not external. It only appears external because well-intentioned people usually act in ways that we like, we clearly see their actions, but we can't clearly see their intentions, so the cart gets put before the horse. I suggest a simple alternative. Let's recognize that actions flow from intentions, questions of causality deal with actions, questions of morality deal with intentions.


We are starting our flu clinic vaccination campaign on October 1st. You will be able to walk into the health department anytime from 8 to 11 in the morning and from 1 to 3 in the afternoon for a flu shot. This covers anyone from 6 months and up until you're 100. We have those vaccines available and we bill all insurance so you'll just need to bring in your insurance card. And then if you don't have insurance, the cost of the flu vaccine is $36 this year. And we do have a limited supply of some free vaccine that we're able to give people and stuff if they don't have the insurance to pay for it. Our clinic is located at 119 River Drive and we're located right downtown in the river field almost straight across from the hospital. You can call 437-5500 to get more information on the flu vaccine this year. Cystic fibrosis is a chronic genetic disorder and people are born with it. And it affects around 30,000 people in the United States. My son Liam has it and he was diagnosed when he was about a month old from a genetic blood test that was done at the hospital. It affects the lungs and the pancreas and so every day he has to do several breathing treatments. It takes about 30 different types of pills a day just to maintain his health and just to kind of keep him alive and healthy and well. Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is unseen. If you were to look at Liam, he looks completely normal. You can't see what is going on with him on the inside. We do try to make his life as normal as possible despite all of the daily treatments and the hours of different breathing therapies that he has to do on the pills. But he is around a whole lot of people because of that we let him be involved in sports and he goes to school. So it's really important that things are clean, that things are safe for him. And when I realized the importance of more vulnerable populations it made me realize how imperative it is for all of us to do this to make sure that those populations are safe, not just us personally. When Liam was six years old he was hospitalized for a common cold. And he was hospitalized for two weeks and sent home with a pick line and it was a really big ordeal for him and our family had to have a procedure and everything. And so that moment made our family really realize how devastating the disease can be to an individual with it. Even something as simple as the common cold really knocked him out for several months to be honest. And we were thankful the whole time that it was not the flu because we know that that would have been even worse. And so I really encourage people to think about others and situations who are immunocompromised or have these chronic medical conditions which can really affect them greater than it does us. It's all about protecting those vulnerable populations.


Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Code Emporium where we are going to talk about model interpretation. So we know that models, when they make predictions, we can assess how well they make predictions, but why do models make the predictions that they do? Hence the point of this video. Before we move on, just a quick favor, can you destroy that like button for the YouTube algorithm gods to pick up? That would be lovely.  By just hitting that like button, you're helping us all out as a community. This is so much appreciated. So thank you. Well, we're going to be using the Boston housing data set for this entire video where the inputs here, let me just open this up. The inputs are a set of 14 features for regions in Boston, like crime rate and well, percentage of businesses that are in the area. And the output, the vibe, why variable will be the median house price for houses in a particular region in Boston. And so we have about like 500 to 600 samples in our data set. And we're going to be making predictions off of them and trying to interpret them. So let's say that I want to start by fitting a linear regression against this entire data set. Right. And we're going to use the mean absolute error as the evaluation metric. And I get a pretty reasonable amount right here. That's great. But now let's say I want to do some model interpretation, understand what is contributing to this and what are the most important features. And so I use stats models and try to come up with this summary table over here. And in this entire preprocessing step, I did some standard scaling and yeah. So they have mean zero standard deviation one. And at this rate, I could look at the coefficients and kind of look at this and say, well, this is equivalent or proportional to the feature importance as long as they are significant coefficients. So some significant values here will be like L stat, which has a very high magnitude value compared to the rest. And this would be like one of the most important coefficients closely followed by probably this dis right. And so on, which this is reasonable to just to say reasonable assumption to make. But let's say that I now want to change my model from linear regression to a random forest regressor. Right. So the only thing that changes here now is like adding a random forest regressor, all the preprocessing steps remain the same. And I get another test MAE, which is pretty reasonable too. And when I look at the feature importance here, though, I kind of see something similar else that is still up there. But it's it's a little similar, a little different, not too, not too crazy different. But yeah, in general, it is a different way of assessing feature importance because here I'm using a built in method call right here, which essentially determines feature importance depending on the node impurities of the tree that's constructed. Yeah. And this is though very specific to these tree based algorithms. But let's say now I want to change it from random forest regressor to a neural network, where now I'm like flushing out a neural network architecture right here. I'm building with PyTorch, by the way. And so I have one hidden layer with an output layer, no activation functions here. And I'm using mini batch gradient descent to process all these batches. And when I look at my test MAE, well, it still it performs really well, probably better than all the rest right here because of its MAE. But unfortunately, though, I don't really have a direct way to identify feature importance of a neural network, not with like a built in function that I can just visualize, at least as far as I know right now. And on top of that, in general, when looking at all these three methods, I don't see like a single way to define feature importance that is model agnostic. So one way that I can just feed any kind of model in order to get a feature importance for, well, these for every feature. And on top of that, what if I want to know, like for a given sample, why it's predicting the way that it is? Like what is contributing to a specific samples prediction to and not just feature importance? Well, all of those, honestly, can be answered using Shapley values. And we're going to be taking a look at that later. But before that, let's take an intuitive look at how we would intuitively interpret models. Now let's think about this for a sec. OK, let's first reconstruct our linear regression model. We have it. That's great. Let's pass in now a non feature data frame, basically a data frame of just NANDs for all the features. And let's see what our model outputs. Now, obviously, well, with all these NANDs, they're going to be imputed by your simple imputer right here, which is going to, well, right here, actually, which is going to, by default, imputing the mean value of those features. And when we do, we get a model output of twenty two point seven six seven. And this is, you can say, the the expected output of the model or the base value, more technical terms. Now let's just take one of our test samples. I'm just taking the first one right here. And this is how the data frame sample looks and we throw it into our model and it makes a prediction of fifteen point eight five one, which is fifteen point five one thousand dollars is the median house price. That's fine. But how do we get from this twenty two thousand right here or twenty two point seven six seven all the way down to fifteen point eight five one? It's because of these features, right? But how do I know which features contributed how much? Well, the way I would probably do it is just first take one feature at a time like crime and then try to vary up and down and see how the model output varies with, you know, varying crime. Same do that with ZN how vary this, see how the output varies. A good way to visualize exactly this is using partial dependency plots. So I'm going to construct a partial dependency plot right over here. And for crime, for example, it's exactly what I mentioned. The X axis is the feature crime and the Y axis is the model output as we vary crime when we're given crime. So this gray data frame, I mean, this great not great data frame, this gray histogram over here is the distribution of all the test samples, the crime of the off these test samples. You can see that they're all pretty low over here. And the crosshair is the expected values. So this cross this line is kind of close to like twenty two point seven. You know, around that value, at least it's dependent internally. There's like an internal logic for computing this one might be slightly different, but it's around twenty two point seven that we discussed. And the corresponding crime right here is the kind of expected value of this feature crime right here, right, ignoring the red parts for now. So you can see that we have the same for partial dependency plots for Rad. So as the rad increases, you can see that the model output increases as age decrease, as age increases. Well, the expected value also increases. But you can see that the Y axis is, you know, kind of small. It's only in this entire area is not even going to increase it by like one point two. So although age is a factor and is proportional positively, it's not really that significant. So no matter what age is, it's not going to affect the model output that much. Right. Now, looking at the individual samples, so let's say I want to look at it, you know, OK, let the effect of a particular sample on a, you know, on the model output. Well, that's where these red lines in the black dot come in. So for this, you remember, I'm taking the same exact sample that we saw before where the crime was four point seven. If you look here, four point seven was that, right. And if you look at the X axis, that corresponds to like this part right. This part right here, and you can see it's a long four point seven. But the Y axis, of course, you know, I don't know why that this this dot is actually misposition. This dot should be on the blue line and this the top part of this red line right here, this part should be on the gray line, right. Maybe it's a lot easier to see with this example. Yeah, it's also shifted up. This dot should be on the blue line. This bottom part of the red line should be on this red line. So for this particular sample, the same sample, the rad was 24. And you can visualize we can see that just by going up here. Rad was 24 right up here, right. So plotting this out, you can see that the difference in the model output from the expected value, it is, it is now like something like 20, twenty seven or twenty eight, right. So it has a huge effect on the model output, increasing it by like three and four, four and a half. I don't know, something like not four and a half. It's like twenty two point five plus something is twenty eight. So it's like five and a half or something like that, right. And this entire value, this length of the red line, thus becomes the contribution of this particular feature rad by this particular sample zero, right. And we call this red line or the magnitude of this red line, the Shapley value, right. And so we can have Shapley values for every sample, every feature of every single sample in our entire data set. So I can keep plotting plots like this, the length of this red line is again another Shapley value. But, you know, this it kind of gets hard to plot so many plots for every feature, every sample. And so let's say that for every sample, I want to plot it. I want to know all of these these red lines for every single feature for a particular sample. And so we have representations from Shap the library in Python that provides exactly that. I'm looking at the same exact sample, right. Remember twenty four rad, we saw that before, right. And I am going to plot it for every other feature, though, right here. And you can see that this gray line, there's like a little gray line that's going up here, and it says f of X is fifteen point eight five one. That is the model output and the expected value for my output. That was twenty three point three seven six. We determined it to be like twenty two point seven. But, you know, internal features of like Shap kind of have determined it this way, which is similar. And so the difference between these two is negative seven point five. How did we come up with? How on earth did we get from twenty three here to fifteen point eight five here? Well, it's shown by every single feature right here. So it looks like rad had a huge impact by increasing, you know, having a positive influence on, you know, increasing the prices specifically for this specific sample. And then the tax, Elstad B and Knox had a good impact in bringing down the entire price. And so we're able to visually interpret why exactly this specific sample is given an output of fifteen point eight five one. Now, a cooler way to like I like seeing a condensed representation. It's exactly the same pieces of information, but just not in a waterfall model. Sometimes this is easy to look at whatever you feel is comfortable. So now that we have, yeah, this is for an individual sample, though. But what if we want to bubble this up to determine model importance? Well, all you need to do is take all the shot values for every single feature in every single sample. And for every single feature column, we are going to just determine the mean of the absolute value of the shatley value. So column wise is take the mean of the absolute value. And so you end up with a plot that's like this, where the shatley values would be proportional to contribution. Right. And so we can see that for again, this was a linear regression model. Rad is the most important feature, followed by tax, followed by L stat, followed by this followed by P ratio and so on. Right. And so I that's kind of why I have like a note over here that says like what features are important to the sort of linear regression model? Yeah, this plot is kind of the exact same thing. It's going to give you the exact same information. It's just a standardized way of plotting it out. That's all. OK, cool. And now that we have a linear regression interpreted, even if I wanted to replace this entire network with a neural network, sorry, this entire model with a neural network instead. This is the exact same code that I showed you before. And we're getting a very similar M.A.E. Yeah. And now I can just create a summary plot, which is basically, you know, determine the shatley values and then aggregate them across every column. And you get, well, feature importance. And this is a very standardized way so that, you know, for any model that I want to create and any model I want to interpret, I can. And I can also determine it for every single sample. I can determine the contribution for every single feature in that sample or for every single feature I can determine, you know, the feature importance across the entire data set. So yeah, that's actually the good basis of shatley values. There are there's a documentation for SHAP, which is the main library I used for creating these shatley values. I will link that down in the description. But now armed with this knowledge, I think it'll be easier for you to understand exactly the mathematical takes on shatley values that you see in documentation. I've linked to it in here below. And if you click that, it'll redirect you to, you know, this, this very nice and detailed like page on just understanding, like interpretable machine learning. I honestly recommend you to go through this. It's a great read with a lot of examples and also lots of good mathematical detail. So let's say that we have this model, right? It's a linear regression model for now, FFX, right? And we could determine feature importance here by just taking the effect of the model minus the effect minus like the expected value of that feature. And I know there is like some and if you aggregated across all like features right here of a particular sample, you get this expression and this expression is exactly what we did. So you see FFX over here. FFX is essentially, well, that's the model output. So for that particular sample, it was like 15.871, right? And then this expected value of the model output was that 23.3 or 20 22.7, whatever you want to interpret it. And the difference is like negative 7.5, which is the overall like contribution that we have for this, this exact sample, right? And this negative 7.5 is to be padded out with all the 13 or 14 features that we have in the Boston data set. So do go through this for more mathematical intuition. And I hope I hope like this entire video does help you understand better Shapley values and also interpreting models. So now you can interpret any machine learning model you want with ease. So go try it out. It's really cool. Leave some links in the description below. And until next time, take it easy.


Welcome to the 4th work central city bypass channel to remain relocation part 14 community construction meeting. Your project manager is Liam Conlon, and I'm going to pass the town to Liam. We have a small agenda here like the introductions. A project to overview project area and I frequently ask questions and the timeline. Project like Sandy says, your team includes the I'm conlon project manager phone number 817392. 6824 and his email address is Liam dot conlon C O N L O N. Forward Texas, which is all one word dot gov and our inspector is a Stephen Martinez and his phone number is 682. 432. 5485 and his email address is Stephen dot Martinez and may R T I N easy. At forward Texas on one word again dot gov. And our contractor is Estia Lewis construction. They're representatives are Adam Lunsford and Ronald Etter. And our engineering design consultant team is Kimberly hard. They're representative is car disease. What part of our work was this project impact. This project is in the forward council districts 9 and 2. And construction will also impact the inner district to alliance. What are the boundaries of the city project. This city relocation project is bound by awkward cemetery to the north. 71's Avenue to the east. Over the street and the foreword police department criminal investigation and records division facility to the south. And North Henderson Street, Jacksboro highway slash one 99 whatever you want to call it to the West. What is the center city bypass channel. Purpose of the center island central city project is to provide for work with bypassed protection. The central city bypass project is limited to the removal of infrastructure needed for this protection. Water and so relocations are needed for this nor bypassed that is approximately 3,900 feet of the overall 8,400 feet of the bypass channel. The flood protection project has been constructed by the United States Army Corps of engineers in partnership with the town regional water district. The city of Fort Worth and town county. Where is the center city project located. The central city project is located within the vicinity of downtown is actually just north of downtown area of Fort Worth. Along the west fork and clear fork of the Trinity River. It consists of a bypass channel, living system, associated improvements to divert flood flows around the segment of the existing bloodway system. What drives the city project existing water and Sanctuary remains must be relocated and abandoned to accommodate the proposed for work center city bypass channel near downtown for work. The future bypass channel is the United States Army Corps of engineers projects for foot protection. You can actually get more information by. Longing into Panther item CC, which is all 1 word. Dot com over slash central dash city dash PHP and you'll get from more information. What role does each partner play? The city of Fort Worth is responsible for utility improvements and relocations. Very much Sanitary sewer water and storm drainage and local street modifications. The two departments basically involved the Fort Worth water department and transportation and public works. United States Army Corps of engineers is responsible for 10 floodwater storage mitigation areas. A bypass channel 3 isolation gets a dam and a pump station. Our regional water district land acquisition. Relocation, demolition, environmental cleanup and water quality. And the Texas department of transportation, which is known as text dot. And 3 for the bridges over the bypass channel on man. Henderson and white settlement where will exist in so remains be relocated. The existence or lines would be relocated to North Jackson for a highway. North Henderson street slash Jackson for a highway relocation starts north and east of the Trinity River and south of awkward cemetery. What is included for sewer and council district to the existence or line and council district to include. Surmans on the north and south side of the West fork of the Trinity River between North Henderson street. And the for work in Western Redwood wasn't noted for sewer and council district none. Existence or lines that would be abandoned include. Surman on the West side of the West fork of the Trinity levy from the bizarre at 1000 North Henderson street. To the for work police department criminal investigations and records division at 1000. Calvert street sewer line West off Calvert street within the police facility. Also included for sewer and council district none the sewer man relocation would run northeasterly along North Henderson. Sutterly to Calvert Street then northeasterly. To just north of the for work police department complex. The Charles hedge Oz Atlantic center is just southeast of the sewer man relocations. Well, you need access to your property construction would be in the streets and easement for work needs access to your property. We would contact you when sewer service be disrupted. Sanctuary sewer services will not be interrupted. You certainly now it would be installed at the property line. Sorting out provides throws easy access if a backup occurs. Well, I have access to my driveway during construction. The inspector and the contractor will work with businesses and residents who need driveway access during active construction hours. How are you going to coordinate traffic during construction? We will have a traffic control plan in place before the contractor starts working. Will there be the enclosures during construction? Yes, but signs will be posted to an earth movers. What are the construction hours? The hours of construction are 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. And if requested by the contractor 9am to 4, maybe 5pm on Saturdays. Timeline, construction activities are scheduled to start on September 11, 2023. The contractor would start at North Henderson Street, Jacksonville Highway between the Henderson Street, Lee Market and Calvert Street. Current schedule shows construction would be wrapped up by late fall or early winter of 2024. We're going to get more information. You can go to www.forwardtexas.org.oneword.gov and type in the project number 104, 484, and the search bar on the home page. Forward Central City Bypass Channel, Surman relocations, R14 would pop up.
