Beyond Prediction: Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Knowledge Discovery in National Security Applications

Oregon Convention Center 

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) should not be limited to helping an end-user determine whether a machine learning model is reliable; it can be much more powerful. Creative uses of XAI show promise for knowledge discovery, and especially for extracting insights from complex scientific data beyond current capabilities of, but in close collaboration with, domain scientists. In this talk, we will explore non-standard uses of XAI, including recent results from a chemistry application, methodological development, and future potential.
