This book focuses on a subtopic of explainable AI (XAI) called explainable agency (EA), which involves producing records of decisions made during an agent’s reasoning, summarizing its behavior in human-accessible terms, and providing answers to questions about specific choices and the reasons for them. We distinguish explainable agency from interpretable machine learning (IML), another branch of... Read more

Biography

Dr. Silvia Tulli is an Assistant Professor at Sorbonne University. She received her Marie Curie ITN research fellowship and completed her Ph.D. at Instituto Superior Técnico. Her research interests lie at the intersection of explainable AI, interactive machine learning, and reinforcement learning.

Dr. David W. Aha (UC Irvine, 1990) serves as the Director of the AI Center at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. His research interests include goal reasoning agents, deliberative autonomy, case-based reasoning, explainable AI, machine learning (ML), reproducible studies, and related topics.
