Workshop: Black-Box and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in embedded systems application

Artificial Intelligence (AI) allows us to mimic the processes behind human intelligence and unlock the potential of intelligent behavior in human-made systems. Deep neural networks are state-of-the-art black-box models that show incredible performance in solving various problems, but currently they provide limited transparent explanations of a model’s behavior and its results. Explainable AI methods increase end-user trust in their performance and acceptance of their use, especially in embedded systems. The introduction of AI methods into embedded systems, such as robots, brings additional challenges for their practical application.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers in AI, embedded systems, and robotics to discuss the latest advances and challenges in using artificial intelligence methods in embedded systems applications, with focus on their explainability characteristics. The AI methods can solve various problems, including problems in computer vision, virtual sensing, and natural language processing.
We are pleased to invite researchers interested in artificial intelligence, embedded systems, and robotics to submit papers for the upcoming workshop titled “Black-box and Explainable AI methods in embedded systems applications”.
