>You'd probably be better off phrasing it as deep neural networks.

I phrased it the way I did for a reason. Large Random Forrest models are also not easily interpretable. Even large logistic regression models with feature interactions and feature hashing aren't easily interpretable. It's not a question of the model technique used but rather the amount of parameters and how many feature interactions are modeled.

>And to be fair, if you just need to see how the predictions vary as a function of the inputs, you can again hold all but one constant and run a bunch of different values through the model.

This only provides a partial view of the feature impact due to non-linear interactions.
