The quest of parsimonious XAI: A human-agent architecture for explanation formulation

by Yazan Mualla and Igor Tchappi and Timotheus Kampik and Amro Najjar and Davide Calvaresi and Abdeljalil Abbas-Turki and Stéphane Galland and Christophe Nicolle Abstract With the widespread use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), understanding the behavior of intelligent agents and robots is crucial to guarantee successful human-agent collaboration since it is not straightforward for humans to understand an agent’s state of mind. Recent empirical studies have confirmed that explaining a system’s behavior to human users fosters the latter’s acceptance of the system.

Explanation-Based Negotiation Protocol for Nutrition Virtual Coaching

by Berk Buzcu, Vanitha Varadhajaran, Igor Tchappi, Amro Najjar, Davide Calvaresi and Reyhan Aydoğan Abstract People’s awareness about the importance of healthy lifestyles is rising. This opens new possibilities for personalized intelligent health and coaching applications. In particular, there is a need for more than simple recommendations and mechanistic interactions. Recent studies have identified nutrition virtual coaching systems (NVC) as a technological solution, possibly bridging technologies such as recommender, informative, persuasive, and argumentation systems.

Integration of Local and Global Features Explanation with Global Rules Extraction and Generation Tools

by Contreras Ordoñez Victor Hugo, Davide Calvaresi, and Michael I. Schumacher Abstract Widely used in a growing number of domains, Deep Learning predictors are achieving remarkable results. However, the lack of transparency (i.e., opacity) of their inner mechanisms has raised trust and employability concerns. Nevertheless, several approaches fostering models of interpretability and explainability have been developed in the last decade. This paper combines approaches for local feature explanation (i.

A DEXiRE for Extracting Propositional Rules from Neural Networks via Binarization

by Contreras Ordoñez Victor Hugo, Niccolo Marini, Lora Fanda, Gaetano Manzo, Yazan Mualla, Jean-Paul Calbimonte, Michael I. Schumacher, and Davide Calvaresi Abstract Background: Despite the advancement in eXplainable Artificial Intelligence, the explanations provided by model-agnostic predictors still call for improvements (i.e., lack of accurate descriptions of predictors’ behaviors). Contribution: We present a tool for Deep Explanations and Rule Extraction (DEXiRE) to approximate rules for Deep Learning models with any number of hidden layers.
