        current research on Machine Learning (ML) is dominated by
        methods of the Deep Learning family. The more complex their
        architectures, the more difficult the interpretation or
        explanation of how and why a particular network prediction is
        obtained, or the elucidation of which components of the complex
        system contributed essentially to the obtained decision. This
        brings about the concern about interpretability and
        non-transparency of complex models, especially in high-stakes
        applications areas such as healthcare, national security,
        industry or public governance, to name a few, in which decision
        making processes may affect citizens. This is, for instance,
        made especially relevant by rapid developments in the field of
        autonomous systems – from cars that drive themselves to partner
        robots and robotic drones. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research
        Projects Agency), a research agency of US Department of Defense,
        was the first to start a research program on Explainable AI
        (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.darpa.mil/program/explainable-artificial-intelligence">https://www.darpa.mil/program/explainable-artificial-intelligence</a>)
        with the goal “to create a suite of machine learning techniques
        that (1) Produce more explainable models, while maintaining a
        high level of learning performance (prediction accuracy); and
        (2) Enable human users to understand, appropriately trust, and
        effectively manage the emerging generation of artificially
        intelligent partners.” Research on Explainable AI (XAI) is now
        supported worldwide by a variety of public institutions and
        legal regulations, such as European Union’s General Data
        Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the forthcoming Artificial
        Intelligence Act. Similar concerns about transparency and
        interpretability are being raised by governments and
        organizations worldwide. The lack of transparency
        (interpretability and explainability) of many ML approaches in
        the light of regulations may end up limiting ML to niche
        applications and poses a significant risk of costly mistakes
        without the mitigation of a sound understanding about the flow
        of information in the model.</span><br
