----------------1st CALL FOR PAPERS------------------------------------

NL4XAI @ INLG2019
1st Workshop on Interactive Natural Language Technology for Explainable Artificial Intelligence (NL4XAI2019)
12th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG2019)
October 29 - November 1, Tokyo, Japan

https://sites.google.com/view/nl4xai2019/

This workshop will be held as part of the INLG2019 conference which is supported by the Special Interest Group on NLG of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The focus of this half-day workshop is on the automatic generation of interactive explanations in natural language (NL), as humans naturally do, and as a complement to visualization tools. NL technologies, both NL Generation (NLG) and NL Processing (NLP) techniques, are expected to enhance knowledge extraction and representation through human-machine interaction (HMI). As remarked in the last challenge stated by the USA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), "even though current AI systems offer many benefits in many applications, their effectiveness is limited by a lack of explanation ability when interacting with humans". Accordingly, users without a strong background on AI, require a new generation of Explainable AI systems. They are expected to naturally interact with humans, thus providing comprehensible explanations of decisions automatically made. The ultimate goal is building trustworthy AI that is beneficial to people through fairness, transparency and explainability. To achieve it, not only technical but also ethical and legal issues must be carefully considered.

We solicit contributions in the form of regular papers (up to 4 pages + 1 references in the ACL paper format) or demo papers (up to 2 pages) dealing with research topics in any of the many aspects concerned with Explainable AI systems.

Submissions should be made through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nl4xai2019
