Call for papers ICPR’2020 Workshop.
WS GOES ONLINE. THE SUBMISSION DEAD-LINE IS Extended October 17!
**************************Explainable Deep Learning/AI********************
https://edl-ai-icpr.labri.fr/
Date: January 11th 2021
THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS EXTENDED OCTOBER 17th
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.
