Special Session on
as a part of the
11 - 15 June 2018, Cádiz, Spain
(Submission Deadline: 15 January 2018, EXTENDED)
In the era of the Internet of Things and Big Data, data scientists are required to extract valuable knowledge from the given data. They first analyze, cure and pre-process data. Then, they apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to automatically extract knowledge from data.
Our focus is on knowledge representation and how to enhance human-machine interaction. As remarked in the last challenge stated by the USA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),
even though current AI systems offer many benefits in many applications, their effectiveness is limited by a lack of explanation ability when interacting with humans.
Accordingly, non-expert users, i.e., users without a strong background on AI, require a new generation of explainable AI systems. They are expected to naturally interact with humans, thus providing comprehensible explanations of decisions automatically made. The goal of this special session is to discuss and disseminate the most recent advancements focused on explainable artificial intelligence. The session goes a step ahead with respect to the previous events we organized (which were mainly focused on interpretable fuzzy systems) in some other conferences: joint IFSA-EUSFLAT 2009, ISDA 2009, WCCI 2010, WILF 2011, ESTYLF 2012, WCCI 2012, EUSFLAT 2013, IFSA-EUSFLAT2015, and FUZZ-IEEE2017.
If you are interested in contributing to this special session, please submit your paper directly through the IPMU website (http://ipmu2018.uca.es/submission/).
Remind to select “Advances on Explainable Artificial Intelligence” as "Main research topic"
Notice that papers submitted for special sessions are to be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for the rest of contributed papers. As a result, all accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IPMU 2018 which will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) with Springer.
CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus.
Moreover, CCIS volumes will also be submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings (Web-of-Science).
