Explainability of Algorithms
Andrés Páez
The opaqueness of many complex machine learning algorithms is often mentioned as one of the main obstacles to the ethical development of artificial intelligence (AI). But what does…
Understanding with toy surrogate models in machine learning
Andrés Páez
In the natural and social sciences, it is common to use toy models -- extremely simple and highly idealized representations -- to understand complex phenomena. Some of the simple s…
Axe the X in XAI: A Plea for Understandable AI
Andrés Páez
In a recent paper, Erasmus et al. (2021) defend the idea that the ambiguity of the term "explanation" in explainable AI (XAI) can be solved by adopting any of four different extant…
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) 2.0: A Manifesto of Open Challenges and Interdisciplinary Research Directions
Luca Longo, Mario Brcic, Federico Cabitza +16
As systems based on opaque Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to flourish in diverse real-world applications, understanding these black box models has become paramount. In respo…
