Explainable AI (XAI), Trustworthy and autonomous machine learning models, Deep neural networks
The Junior Research Group of Prof. Dr. Grégoire Montavon advances the foundations and algorithms of explainable AI (XAI) in the context of deep neural networks. One particular focus is on closing the gap between existing XAI methods and practical desiderata. Examples include using XAI to build more trustworthy and autonomous machine learning models and using XAI to model the behavior of complex real-world systems so that the latter become meaningfully actionable. In future research, the team explores: (1) how to use XAI to assess, on which data a deep neural network model can be trusted to perform autonomously or requires human intervention, and (2) how to use XAI in combination with a deep neural network to model complex real-world systems and identify actionable components. Grégoire Montavon and his team will collaborate with the members of BIFOLD’s “Explainable Artificial Intelligence Lab” (XAI-Lab).
