Ilaria Tiddi on Jan. 17 in DKG/SWSA talk series (and further upcoming talks)

Dear all,

I am happy to announce the next talk in the online talk series [1] of
the COST Action on Distributed Knowledge Graphs (DKG) [2], in
collaboration with the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) [3].

On January 17 at 18:00 CET / 12:00 EST, Ilaria Tiddi (Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam) will talk about:

  Explainability with Knowledge Graphs: what have we learnt?

Abstract:
We hear about explanations for AI all the time these days, since the
the latest (deep) machine learning solutions revealed to provide highly
accurate, but hardly scrutable and interpretable decisions. In 2013, we
were looking into using Knowledge Graphs to create explanations from ML
outputs, well before we even heard of the term eXplainable AI (XAI,
coined by DARPA in 2017). In this teasing talk, we will look into this
work from today’s perspective, including what has been done in this
context, whether it is still useful and relevant, and whether the same
methods still apply. We will conclude with a discussion on the future
of these ideas, hoping to foster new research in this direction.

Speaker:
Ilaria Tiddi is an Assistant Professor in Hybrid Intelligence at the
Knowledge in AI (KAI) group of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (NL).
Her research focuses on creating systems that generate complex
narratives through a combination of semantic technologies, open data
and machine learning, applied mostly in scientific and robotics
scenarios. She is Editor-in-Chief of the CEUR-WS publication, part of
the Steering Committee for the Hybrid Human-AI Conference, and
Coordinator of the international Staff Exchange for the Dutch Hybrid
Intelligence consortium. Since 2014, she is regularly active in the
OCs/PCs of the major venues in the KR field (ISWC/ESWC, HHAI, WWW,
CIKM, IJCAI/ECAI).
