By now Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have proven to be an effective means to improve several processes from Industry. Following the "Right to Explanation" stated in the EU GDPR, high-stakes AI/ML-based systems must provide a means to access the logic behind the decision-making process that determine the outputs produced by such systems.
In this talk we will discuss some of the families of existing explanation methods setting the focus on some of the most representative instances. We will cover evaluation protocols commonly used to validate the output produced by such methods. We will conclude with a discussion of the current state of the field, weak aspects to keep present and potential steps forward.

José Oramas
José Oramas is an Assistant Professor at the Internet Data Lab (IDLab) a joint research lab between the University of Antwerp and IMEC. He received his Ph.D. at the Center for Processing Speech and Images (ESAT-PSI)of KU Leuven in April 2015. Earlier he received his engineering degree from Escuela Superior Politecnica del Litoral in Ecuador. During his Ph.D. he conducted research on understanding how groups of elements from the image (objects, object-parts, image regions, trajectories, etc.) interact and how the relationships between them can be exploited to improve artificial visual perception problems. This fueled his interest towards investigating exploratory/explanatory models that can identify informative intermediate representations and use them as means to justify the predictions that they make.
Research Interests: Representation Learning, Interpretability and Explainability, Multiple Instance Learning, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Computer Vision
