  • Automatic Explanations of Computation Results with Value Decompositions and Dominating Sets

    Creator:
    Kumar, Prashant
    Abstract:
    In an increasingly computation-driven world, algorithms and mathematical models significantly impact decision making across various fields. To foster trust and understanding, it is crucial to provide users with clear and concise explanations of the reasoning behind the results produced by computational tools, especially when recommendations appear counterintuitive. Legal frameworks in...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...
