DESCRIPTION:I will be talking about one of our recent papers [1] (and time
  permitting\, some detail from our related work [2]). When explaining AI b
 ehavior to humans\, how is the communicated information being comprehended
  by the human explainee\, and does it match what the explanation attempted
  to communicate? When can we say that an explanation is explaining somethi
 ng? We can answer this by leveraging theory of mind literature about the f
 olk concepts that humans use to understand behavior. We will establish a f
 ramework of social attribution by the human explainee\, which describes th
 e function of explanations: the concrete information that humans comprehen
 d from them. Specifically\, effective explanations should be coherent (com
 municate information which generalizes to other contrast cases)\, complete
  (communicating an explicit contrast case\, objective causes\, and subject
 ive causes)\, and interactive (surfacing and resolving contradictions to t
 he generalization property through iterations). We will also see that many
  XAI mechanisms can be mapped to folk concepts of behavior. This allows us
  to uncover their modes of failure that prevent current methods from expla
 ining effectively\, and what is necessary to enable coherent explanations.

 f. Yoav Goldberg. His main research involves explainability in AI and NLP 
 - in particular human-driven explainability - on formalizing human aspects
  of AI explanation\, and bridging XAI technologies with how people perceiv
 e them.\n\nMichael is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\n\nTopic:
