Subject: IPMU 2018 - Special Session "Advances on Explainable Artificial Intelligence" - Call for Papers

* Apologies for cross-postings *

Dear Colleagues,
we are organizing a special session entitled "Advances on Explainable Artificial Intelligence" to be held within next IPMU 2018 conference, 11-15 June 2018, Cadiz (Spain).
All details about the session are at:

The goal of this special session is to discuss and disseminate the most recent advancements focused on explainable artificial intelligence. The session goes a step ahead with respect to the previous events we organized (which were mainly focused on interpretable fuzzy systems) in some other conferences: joint IFSA-EUSFLAT 2009, ISDA 2009, WCCI 2010, WILF 2011, ESTYLF 2012, WCCI 2012, EUSFLAT 2013, IFSA-EUSFLAT2015, and FUZZ-IEEE2017.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
+ Explainable Computational Intelligence
+ Theoretical Aspects of Interpretability
+ Dimensions of Interpretability: Readability versus Understandability
+ Learning Methods for Interpretable Systems and Models
+ Interpretability Evaluation and Improvements
+ Relations between Interpretability and other Criteria (such as Accuracy, Stability, Relevance, etc.)
+ Design Issues
+ Successful Applications of Interpretable AI Systems
+ Interpretable Fuzzy Systems
+ Interpretable Machine Learning
+ Models for Explainable Recommendations
+ Explainable Agents
+ Self-explanatory Decision-Support Systems
+ Argumentation Theory for Explainable AI
+ Natural Language Generation for Explainable AI

If you are interested in submitting a paper for this session, please do not hesitate to contact one of the organizers: a tentative title of the paper to be submitted along with a list of authors and an e-mail address for further contact would be highly appreciated.

Submissions are made through the IPMU website (http://ipmu2018.uca.es/submission/). Remind to select "Advances on Explainable Artificial Intelligence" as "Main research topic". Notice that proceedings of IPMU 2018 will be published in Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) with Springer. CCIS is abstracted/indexed in DBLP, Google Scholar, EI-Compendex, Mathematical Reviews, SCImago, Scopus. Moreover, CCIS volumes will also be submitted for the inclusion in ISI Proceedings (Web-of-Science).
