Exploring Explainable AI: Methods, Challenges, and Practical Applications
Presenter: Nasrin Tavakoli
Date: Thursday, February 1st, 2024
Time 3:00 PM- 4:00 PM
Location: 4th Floor (Workshop space) at 300 Ouellette Avenue (School of Computer Science Advanced Computing Hub)
Abstract:
As AI systems become more prevalent in our daily lives, understanding their decision-making processes and ensuring transparency and accountability are crucial. This workshop aims to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of Explainable AI, its methods, challenges, and practical applications. Problem Statement: The lack of transparency in AI systems can lead to biased outcomes, ethical concerns, and limited user trust. Explainable AI offers a solution to these issues by providing insights into the decision-making processes of AI models.
The workshop will combine theoretical discussions and hands-on demonstrations to engage participants in understanding and applying Explainable AI methods. As a result, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and potential solutions in achieving explainability for AI systems. They will also learn how to evaluate and apply different Explainable AI methods based on their specific use cases.
