IJCAI or ICML reviewers too narrow minded to see how awesome your XAI work is? It's 10 days until the submission deadline for the XAI workshop IJCAIconf We have in-person and virtual sessions (the following week) to accommodate people who cannot travel. sites.google.com/view/xai2023/h…

Calling all PhD students, you are invited to apply to the ECAI-23 doctoral consortium; this is a great opportunity to show your research and get feedback from AI leaders in Europe and beyond. ecai2023.eu/callsforDC European Association for Artificial Intelligence

Our lab is hiring an ML in health PhD/postdoc! This is for an applied causal ML project, with very close collaboration with our university hospital - see details here*: technionmail-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal… *due to the specific requirements of this position we need a fluent Hebrew speaker

I'm recruiting a postdoc for my group to work on an ERC-funded project on User-Centered explainable AI (also recruiting PhD students). You can take a cable car to work! More info here: docs.google.com/document/d/109… #EUfunded #postdocjobs European Research Council (ERC)

Just 10 days until the XAIJ workshop IJCAIconf ! We are delighted to have Ming Yin (mingyin.org) from Purdue University giving the keynote talk: "Human-Centered Evaluation of Explanations in AI-Assisted Decision-Making".

The XAI@IJCAI workshop virtual day is underway! I will use this thread to summarise the talks throughout the day. IJCAIconf #XAI

Part 2 of the virtual day starts with Hubert Baniecki discussing a recent survey on adversarial attacs on XAI methods. Defences include explanation aggregation, model regularisation, and focused sampling. Extended version to appear on arXiv soon!

If you are interested in finding out a bit about the latest research in Explainable AI, I summarised all 15 papers from today's #XAI workshop IJCAIconf. Together, these give a broad overview of the current challenges.

Also, all papers for the Explainable AI IJCAIconf workshop are freely downloadable from the workshop website: sites.google.com/view/xai2023/h… As well as the papers in the thread below, there are 10 additional papers presented at the in-person day last week (which I was unable to attend)

I'm recruiting PhD students through the ELLIS PhD program this year to work on explainable AI and human-AI interaction. The application deadline is Nov 15. Feel free to reach out if interested

Important message from the presidents of Israeli universities. The shameful response of the top US universities seeing the brutal terror actions by Hamas as "one more event" is unforgiven. You're totally disoriented Harvard University Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Stanford University New York University #HamasisISIS
