Martin Atzmueller, Osnabrück University, Germany

Motivation:

Explainability of AI has been a widely discussed topic in the recent decade. It clearly is an area where the discussion of technology and engineering strongly overlaps with human-oriented and social topics. After all, explanations in AI systems are provided for humans, and as such should be useful for them on many levels. Thus, a complete perspective on the design, development, and evaluation of XAI methods with and for humans should be considered. It clearly is a strongly disciplinary field where practitioners from several fields, beyond engineering of AI meet and collaborate. The objective of this workshop is to provide ample space for discussion and exchange of novel ideas.

The list of the topics include, but is not limited to:

  • Agent-based XAI systems and evaluation perspectives
  • Empirical and behavioral evaluation of AI systems
  • Evaluation of explainability in AI with humans
  • Evaluation of user interfaces for explainability
  • Human-in-the-loop approaches for XAI
  • Human-centered design and XAI
  • Human-computer interaction for XAI
  • Integrative AI system design and evaluation
  • Neuro-symbolic reasoning for and in XAI
  • Psychological foundations of explainability
  • Visualization of and visual analytics for XAI
  • Applications of all the above

Submissions:

What matters most about the workshop is meeting people and inspiring vivid discussions. We encourage authors to submit both short papers introducing their original ideas (5 pages with references in LLNCS) or full papers presenting research results (8-10 pages).
