Call for Papers:
AI systems are increasingly present in everyday society, from simple computer systems to agents such as autonomous vehicles or social robots. In this context, several researchers have noted that it is critical to understand how human users perceive such systems - in particular, the degree to which they understand how the system works, and what mental models they build of the underlying algorithms. "Explainable AI" thus refers to AI systems that behave or provide the necessary information so that their working becomes comprehensible to the human user.

For this meeting, we are interested in AI systems that operate at least somewhat autonomously based on real-world sensory data (in particular, based on machine vision). This includes robotics and autonomous vehicles, but can also cover disembodied systems such as decision support systems.

We are particularly interested in contributions that give detailed consideration to the fact that these are AI systems that sense (often through machine vision) the environment, and consider the possible role of understanding human cognitive mechanisms in the design of such systems. Relevant human cognitive mechanisms could include, for example, how humans perceive and interpret information themselves (which may be relevant in the design of explainable information processing by a machine) or how they interact with other intelligent agents (including their expectations on such interactions), which may impose constraints on the design of explainable systems that may be perceived as an intelligent, interactive agent by human users.

Submission Deadline:
All those interested in presenting at this meeting are invited to submit a summary of their talk at https://goo.gl/forms/OByON7vvlUX0xtDt1 by 1 Dec 2017 [firm deadline].
