Explainable Deep Learning/AI Call for Papers

Call for papers  ICPR2020 Workshop 

**************************Explainable Deep Learning/AI********************
https://edl-ai-icpr.labri.fr/

The recent focus of AI and Pattern Recognition communities on the
supervised learning approaches, and particularly to Deep Learning /
AI, resulted in considerable increase of performance of Pattern
Recognition and AI systems, but also raised the question of the
trustfulness and explainability of their predictions for
decision-making.  Instead of developing and using Deep NNs as black
boxes and adapting known architectures to variety of problems, the
goal of explainable Deep Learning / AI is to propose methods to
“understand” and “explain” how the these systems produce
their decisions.  The goals of the workshop are to bring together
research community which is working on the question of improving
explainability of AI and Pattern Recognition algorithms and systems.
The topics of the workshop cover but are not limited to:

	"Sensing" or "salient features" of Neural Networks and AI
systems - explanation of which features for a given configuration
yield predictions both in spatial (images) and temporal (time-series,
video) data;

	Attention mechanisms in Deep Neural Networks and their
	explanation;

	For temporal data, the explanation of which features and at
    what time are the most prominent for the prediction and what are
    the time intervals when the contribution of each data is
    important;

	How the explanation can help on making Deep learning
	architectures more sparse (pruning) and light-weight;

	When using multimodal data how the prediction in data streams
    are correlated and explain each other;

	Automatic generation of explanations / justifications of
	algorithms and systems' decisions;

	Decisional uncertainly and explicability 

	Evaluation of the explanations generated by Deep Learning and
	other AI systems.
