Chair objectives
The aim of this project is to use symbolic AI approaches, namely (modal) logic and
argumentation theory, for explaining and improving predictions of data-driven models.
We are particularly interested in different types of classifiers (binary, multi-class, and multi-label), and in both black-box models
(whose internal reasoning is left unspecified) and white-box models including Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, and
Random Forest.
The chair has four main research threads:
- Theoretical foundations of explainability
- Explainability of black-box models
- Explainability of white-box models
- Natural Language Processing
Programs: Acceptable, certifiable & collaborative AI
Themes: Explicability, Fair Learning
