Call for Workshop Papers
With the start of the 21st century, Machine Learning (ML): a sub-field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has found a good way to move over the big and complex amount of existing data. Thanks to developments in hardware technologies (such as GPU), advances in ML provided ways to deal with real-world problems including the ever-increasing amount of instantaneous type of data. A new era for AI, called Deep Learning (DL) has emerged. However, we are still facing a major issue of having black-box models that do not provide an explanation for the reached decisions (output values) to the extent that humans could trust the feedback given by such intelligent systems. This causes a lack of knowledge about how such a ML-oriented system reached its decisions, what are its limitations, what to do when its decisions are wrong, how to understand solution correctness of the reached decision etc. By moving from that issue, the concept of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has been introduced to make intelligent systems more interpretative. In detail, especially rule-based approaches and transparent techniques such as Decision Trees, Bayesian models, and Regression models are widely used to form hybrid models making ML models to have layers of explanation. Since XAI has different topics to research, this workshop aims to gather cutting-edge, latest developments in healthcare applications, and to encourage an open and wide discussion environment for future research. The medical field has great importance in our life and healthcare is a remarkable aspect in which foundations of AI are widely applied. It is thought that XAI ensures a great triggering effect on healthcare. Therefore, submissions including recent developments and both theoretical and applied views are welcome to this workshop.
