  The objective of an online Mart is to match buyers and sellers, to weigh
animals and to oversee their sale. A reliable pricing method can be developed
by ML models that can read through historical sales data. However, when AI
models suggest or recommend a price, that in itself does not reveal too much
(i.e., it acts like a black box) about the qualities and the abilities of an
animal. An interested buyer would like to know more about the salient features
of an animal before making the right choice based on his requirements. A model
capable of explaining the different factors that impact the price point is
essential for the needs of the market. It can also inspire confidence in buyers
and sellers about the price point offered. To achieve these objectives, we have
been working with the team at MartEye, a startup based in Portershed in Galway
City, Ireland. Through this paper, we report our work-in-progress research
towards building a smart video analytic platform, leveraging Explainable AI
techniques.
