“I would like to thank you for your work. Specifically, the chapter: 'LIME Explainability: Complete Guide to Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations' was extremely helpful for me in understanding LIME and communicating to colleagues. Your work is inspiring and valuable. Thank you for doing it.”

“Really appreciate the way you have explained the concepts. Simple to understand, yet builds up knowledge exponentially, all while reinforcing it with examples repeatedly. I've read the last two chapters `74.Self-attention & 75.Q,K,V` and I've to admit, my concepts have never been clearer. You really are doing an amazing job breaking down maths and complex concepts like a story!”
