• The course is usually offered in the winter term.

Topic: Explainable Artificial Intelligence

The growing interest in machine learning in many application domains makes it necessary that machine learned models do not only have high predictive accuracy but also are transparent and comprehensible. Currently, we are on the way into the "third wave of AI" from "describe" over "learn" to "explain". Currently there is a strong interdisciplinary interest in explanation generation for blackbox (mostly deep learning) models as well as a renaissance of interpretable machine learning approaches such as decision rules and inductive logic programming. In the seminar, we will discuss current research papers in the field.
