EXPLAINABILITY OF AI - IBM
What
Selected applicants will have the chance to attend an interactive workshop held by Dennis Wei (IBM Research) on explainability of AI (XAI). Participants will learn about most recent developments in XAI and get hands-on experience on AI Explainability 360, an open source software toolkit that showcases how machine learning models predict labels by various means, throughout the AI application lifecycle. The toolkit features ten diverse and state-of-the-art explainability methods and two evaluation metrics. More info at this website and in this paper.
Who
Dennis Wei is a Research Staff Member in the Trusted AI department, IBM Research AI at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center.
