We are excited to announce the first XAI Hackathon supported by the FAIR PNRR and XAI projects! This event is open to young researchers, PhD candidates, and Master's students with some background knowledge in Explainable Artificial Intelligence.
Challenge
Use the XAI-LIB to integrate XAI techniques into a ML prediction pipeline and improve transparency in black-box AI decisions. Specifically, this involves
enhancing the prediction task with various explanation types (e.g., instance-based or rule-based);
assessing the impact of explanations on model transparency under different critical conditions (model performs well or not);
developing a use-case scenario that showcases the benefits of explanations.
Final project evaluation will be based on:
The variety and effectiveness of the explanations used;
Assessment of the robustness, validity, and quality of the explanations;
A use-case scenario enriched with progressive explanation steps.
