Proceedings of ICML 2021 Workshop on Theoretic Foundation, Criticism, and Application Trend of Explainable AI
It targets researchers and practitioners in AI by highlighting theoretical gaps and controversies in XAI, but is incremental as it builds on existing workshop discussions.
This workshop addresses the lack of foundational principles and resilience in deep neural networks, focusing on interpreting and theorizing their internal mechanisms to tackle bottlenecks in explainable AI development.
This is the Proceedings of ICML 2021 Workshop on Theoretic Foundation, Criticism, and Application Trend of Explainable AI. Deep neural networks (DNNs) have undoubtedly brought great success to a wide range of applications in computer vision, computational linguistics, and AI. However, foundational principles underlying the DNNs' success and their resilience to adversarial attacks are still largely missing. Interpreting and theorizing the internal mechanisms of DNNs becomes a compelling yet controversial topic. This workshop pays a special interest in theoretic foundations, limitations, and new application trends in the scope of XAI. These issues reflect new bottlenecks in the future development of XAI.
