Connectionists: [CfP] (Special Session @ IPMU 2022) MIIXAI: Managing Imprecise Information for XAI

[malchiodi]

(apologies for cross postings)

People have an exceptional ability in managing imprecise information in 
forms that are well captured by several theories within the Granular 
Computing paradigm, such as Fuzzy Set Theory, Rough Set Theory, Interval 
Computing and hybrid theories among others. Endowing XAI systems with 
the ability of dealing with the many forms of imprecision, is therefore 
a key challenge that can push forward current XAI technologies towards 
more trustworthy systems based on imprecise information (II) and full 
collaborative intelligence. The Special Session will gather recent 
advancements in topics like foundational, theoretical and methodological 
aspects of imprecision management in XAI, new technologies for 
representing and processing imprecision in XAI systems, as well as 
real-world applications that demonstrate explainability improvements 
through imprecision management.

Topics include but are not limited to:

- Design of explainable II-based systems
- Evaluation of explainability in models for II
- Hybrid systems dealing with different forms of imprecision
- Successful applications of explainable II-based systems
- Induction of explainable models from II
- Theoretical aspects of explainability in II-based systems
