<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">3rd World Conference on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">-----------------------------------------------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Artificial intelligence has seen a significant shift in focus towards designing and developing intelligent systems that are interpretable and explainable. This is due to the complexity of the models, built from data, and
the legal requirements imposed by various national and international parliaments. This has echoed both in the research literature and the press, attracting scholars worldwide and a lay audience. An emerging field with AI is eXplainable Artificial Intelligence
(xAI), devoted to producing intelligent systems that allow humans to understand their inferences, assessments, predictions, recommendations and decisions. Initially devoted to designing post-hoc methods for explainability, eXplainable Artificial Intelligence
(xAI) is rapidly expanding its boundaries to neuro-symbolic methods for producing self-interpretable models. Research has also shifted the focus on the structure of explanations and human-centred Artificial Intelligence since the ultimate users of interactive
technologies are humans.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The World Conference on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (</span><a href="https://xaiworldconference.com/2025/" style="font-family: ArialMT;">https://xaiworldconference.com/2025/</a><span style="font-family: ArialMT;">)
is an annual event that aims to bring together researchers, academics, and professionals, promoting the sharing and discussion of knowledge, new perspectives, experiences, and innovations in the field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (xAI). This event
is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, bringing together academics and scholars of different disciplines, including Computer Science, Psychology, Philosophy, Law and Social Science, to mention a few, and industry practitioners interested in the practical,
social and ethical aspects of the explanation of the models emerging from the discipline of Artificial intelligence (AI).</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The conference organisation encourages submissions related to eXplainable AI and contributions from academia, industry, and other organizations discussing open challenges or novel research approaches related to the explainability
and interpretability of AI systems. Topics include, and are not limited to:</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">

<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Submission</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">----------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Submitted manuscripts must be novel and not substantially duplicate existing work. Manuscripts must be written using Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) in the format provided here. Latex and word files are
admitted; however, the former is preferred. All submissions and reviews will be handled electronically. The conference has a no dual submission policy, so submitted manuscripts must not be currently under review at another publication venue.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Articles must be submitted using the easy-chair platform here: </span><a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xai2025" style="font-family: ArialMT;">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xai2025</a><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">While registering on the platform, the contact author must provide the following information: paper title, all author names, affiliations, postal address, e-mail address, and at least three keywords. The conference will not
require a strict page number, as we believe authors have different writing styles and would like to produce scientific material differently. However, the following types of articles are admitted:</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Full articles between 12 and 24 pages (including references)</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Short articles between 8 and 12 pages (including references)</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Appendixes and supplemental material</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">------------------------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Appendixes and supplemental material must be placed within the article and the maximum amount of pages mentioned above. In other words, everything must be within 24 pages (for full articles) and 12 pages (for short articles).</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Special track articles</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">----------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The article submitted to the special tracks follows the submission procedure of the main track and must be submitted via easy-chair, as mentioned above. The types of articles admitted are full and shorter, as described above.
The authors of an article to be associated with a special track must select the name of such special track in the list of topics in easy-chair, along with other relevant topics.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Authors commit to reviewing</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">---------------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">By submitting to the conference, each senior author of a manuscript volunteer to be added to the pool of potential PC members/reviewers for the conference and may be asked to review manuscripts. This does not apply to authors
who have already agreed to contribute to the conference in some capacity (e.g., as PC/SPC members of the main conference or special tracks, area chairs, or members of the organizing committee) and authors who are not qualified to be in the programme committee.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Ethical & Human Subjects Considerations</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">---------------------------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The conference organisers expect authors to discuss the ethical considerations and the impact of the presented work and/or its intended application, where appropriate. Additionally, all authors must comply with ethical standards
and regulatory guidelines associated with human subjects research, including using personally identifiable data and research involving human participants. Manuscripts reporting on human subjects research must include a statement identifying any regulatory
review the research is subject to (and identifying the form of approval provided) or explaining the lack of required review.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Submission and publication of multiple articles</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">-----------------------------------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Each author is limited to no more than a combined limit of 4 submissions to the main conference track, and authors may not be added or deleted from papers following submission.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">

<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Conference</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">----------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The World Conference on eXplainable AI will take place the 9-11 of July, 2025, Istambul, Turkey</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Review Process</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">--------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The Peer-Review process</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">-----------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">All articles submitted within the deadlines and per the guidelines will be subjected to a single-blind review. Authors can also opt-out to disclose their names. However, authors will not know the names of their reviewers.
Papers that are out of scope, incomplete, or lack sufficient evidence to support the basic claims may be rejected without full review. Manuscripts that do not conform to the specified formatting style will be desk-rejected. A non-dual policy submission exists,
and articles submitted parallel to another conference/journal will be desk-rejected. Furthermore, reviewers will be asked to comment on whether the length is appropriate for the contribution. Each submitted article will be reviewed by at least two appropriate
committee members (main/special track programme committee, late-breaking work/demo/DC committee).</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">After completion of the review process, the authors will be informed about the acceptance or rejection of the submitted work. The reviewers’ comments will be available to the authors if they are not desk-rejected. In case
of acceptance, authors must meet the recommendations for improvement and prepare and submit the definitive version of the work up to the camera-ready paper submission deadline. In case of failure to consider the recommendations made by the reviewers, the organizing
committee, the chairs and the editors reserve the right not to include these works in any of the planned conference proceedings.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">The article’s final version must follow the appropriate style guide and contain the authors’ data (names, institutions and emails) and the ORCID details. Submitted articles will be evaluated according to their originality,
technical soundness, significance of findings, contribution to knowledge, clarity of exposition and organisation and replicability.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Code of Ethics</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">--------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Inspired by the code of ethics put forward by the Association of Computing Machinery, the programme committee, supervised by the general conference chairs and organisers, has the right to desk-reject manuscripts that perpetuate
harmful stereotypes, employ unethical research practices, or uncritically present outcomes or implications that disadvantage minoritized communities. Further, reviewers of the scientific committee will be explicitly asked to consider whether the research was
conducted in compliance with professional, ethical standards and applicable regulatory guidelines. Failure to do so could lead to a desk rejection.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Publication & indexing</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">----------------------</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Each accepted and presented full, short paper (for the main and special tracks), presented either as an oral presentation or as a poster, will be included in the conference proceedings by Springer in Communications in Computer
and Information Science, edited by the general/PC chairs. At least one author of each accepted paper must pay the related fees and register for the conference by the deadline. The official publication date is when the publisher makes the proceedings available
online. This date will be after the conference and can take some weeks.</span><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">If authors want to publish their article OPEN ACCESS (upon a fee with Springer), please refer to this page: </span><a href="https://xaiworldconference.com/2024/springer-open-access/" style="font-family: ArialMT;">https://xaiworldconference.com/2024/springer-open-access/</a><br style="font-family: ArialMT;">
