Joint 3rd Workshop on Explainable Smart Systems (ExSS) and 2nd Workshop on
Intelligent User Interfaces for Algorithmic Transparency in Emerging
Technologies (ATEC)
Held in conjunction with ACM Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI) Cagliari,
Italy, 17 - 20 March 2020

Smart systems that apply complex reasoning to make decisions and plan
behavior, such as decision support systems and personalized
recommendations, are difficult for users to understand. Algorithms allow
the exploitation of rich and varied data sources, in order to support human
decision-making and/or taking direct actions; however, there are increasing
concerns surrounding their transparency and accountability, as these
processes are typically opaque to the user - e.g., because they are too
technically complex to be explained or are protected trade secrets. The
topics of transparency and accountability have attracted increasing
interest to provide more effective system training, better reliability and
improved usability. This workshop will provide a venue for exploring issues
that arise in designing, developing and evaluating intelligent user
interfaces that provide system transparency or explanations of their
behavior. In addition, our goal is to focus on approaches to mitigating
algorithmic biases that can be applied by researchers, even without access
to a given system’s inter-workings, such as awareness, data provenance, and
validation.

Researchers in academia or industry who have an interest in these areas are
invited to submit papers up to 6 pages (not including references) in ACM
SIGCHI Paper Format (see http://iui.acm.org/2020/call_for_papers.html).
These submissions must be original and relevant contributions and can be of
two types: (1) position papers summarizing authors’ existing research in
this area and how it relates to the workshop theme and (2) papers offering
an industrial perspective on the workshop theme or a real-world approach to
system transparency. Suggested contribution types include, but are not
limited to:
- Is transparency (or explainability) always a good idea? Can transparent
algorithms or explanations “hurt” the user experience, and in what
circumstances?
- When are the optimal points at which explanations are needed for
transparency?
- What are explanations? What should they look like?
- What are more transparent models that still have good performance in
terms of speed and accuracy?
- How can we detect biases and discrimination in transparent systems?
- What is important in user modeling for system transparency and
explanations?
- What are important social aspects in interaction design for system
transparency and explanations?
- What are possible metrics that can be used when evaluating transparent
systems and explanations?

Carrie Cai, a senior research scientist at Google Brain and PAIR (Google’s
People+AI Research Initiative), will be our keynote speaker. Paper authors
will then present their work as part of thematic panels or as poster
presentations. The second part of the workshop will consist of sub-group
activities focused on how to design and evaluate transparent systems.

Papers should be submitted via Easychair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=exss-atec2020) by the end of
December 20th 2019 and will be reviewed by committee members. Position
papers do not need to be anonymized. At least one author of each accepted
position paper must register for and attend the workshop. For further
questions please contact the workshop organizers at <
