Tuesday February 8, from 4:00-6:00 PM in Sala Azzurra (Palazzo Carovana)
Within the course Explainable AI, Prof. Francesca Toni (Professor in Computational Logic and Royal Academy of Engineering/JP Morgan Research Chair on Argumentation-based Interactive Explainable AI at the Department of Computing, Imperial College London, UK) will give a seminar on "Explaining with argumentationIt". Abstract: Explaining with argumentationIt is widely acknowledged that transparency of automated decision making is crucial for deployability of intelligent systems, and explaining the reasons why some outputs are computed is a way to achieve this transparency. The form that explanations should take, however, is much less clear. In this talk I will explore two classes of explanations, which I call 'lean' and 'mechanistic': the former focus on the inputs contributing to decisions given in output; the latter reflect instead the internal functioning of the automated decision making fed with the inputs and computing those outputs. I will show how both classes of explanations can be supported by forms of computational argumentation, and will describe forms of argumentative XAI in several settings, including multi-attribute decision making and machine learning.
