Human-centered XAI: Developing design patterns for explanations of clinical decision support systems

Schoonderwoerd, T.A.J. (author), Jorritsma, W. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author)

Much of the research on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has centered on providing transparency of machine learning models. More recently, the focus on human-centered approaches to XAI has increased. Yet, there is a lack of practical methods and examples on the integration of human factors into the development processes of AI-generated...

Data-Driven optimization of intermittent gas production in mature fields assisted by deep learning and a population-based global optimizer

Gómez, J.F. (author), Shoeibi Omrani, P.S. (author), Belfroid, S.P.C. (author)

In gas wells, decreased/unstable production can occur due to difficult-to-predict dynamic effects resulted from late-life phenomena, such as liquid loading and flooding. To minimize the negative impact of these effects, maximize production and extend the wells’ lifetime, wells are often operated in an intermittent production regime. The goal of...

Evaluating XAI: A comparison of rule-based and example-based explanations

van der Waa, J. (author), Nieuwburg, E. (author), Cremers, A. (author), Neerincx, M. (author)

Current developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) led to a resurgence of Explainable AI (XAI). New methods are being researched to obtain information from AI systems in order to generate explanations for their output. However, there is an overall lack of valid and reliable evaluations of the effects on users' experience of, and behavior in...

Interpretable confidence measures for decision support systems

Waa, J.V.D. (author), Schoonderwoerd, T. (author), Diggelen, J.V. (author), Neerincx, M. (author)

Decision support systems (DSS) have improved significantly but are more complex due to recent advances in Artificial Intelligence. Current XAI methods generate explanations on model behaviour to facilitate a user's understanding, which incites trust in the DSS. However, little focus has been on the development of methods that establish and...

A survey of health monitoring techniques for the dutch transportation infrastructure

Wessels, J.F.M. (author), van der Mark, P.J. (author), Bektas, K.E. (author), Bakker, J. (author), van der Voort, M. (author)

Transportation infrastructure assets are designed to meet pre-specified reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) requirements. Electrical and mechanical components are critical elements with respect to the RAMS-criteria. Unplanned failure of these components lead to societal impact, unsafe situations or costs. The trend in...
