Explainable AI Using Expressive Boolean Formulas

Unite.AI

Indeed, some “black box” machine learning algorithms are so intricate and multifaceted that they can defy simple explanation, even by the computer scientists who created them. And if these applications are not expressive enough to meet explainability requirements, they may be rendered useless regardless of their overall efficacy.

A computer scientist explains how quantum advantage could change the world

Flipboard

Several companies have made quantum computers, but these early models have yet to demonstrate quantum advantage: the ability to outstrip ordinary supercomputers. Quantum advantage is the milestone the field of quantum computing is fervently working toward, where a quantum computer can solve problems …

Explaining complex information to patients

Ehud Reiter

years old), I’m trying to come back to this vision, collaborating with my students and colleagues in Aberdeen’s medical school in a variety of areas, including supporting cancer patients, helping people understand nutritional data, and explaining IVF predictions. Now that I’m in the last phase of my career (I’m 63.5

UCI and Harvard Researchers Introduce TalkToModel that Explains Machine Learning Models to its Users

Marktechpost

However, the complexity of these models has rendered their underlying processes and predictions increasingly opaque, even to seasoned computer scientists. Existing attempts at Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) have faced limitations, often leaving room for interpretation in their explanations.
