Integrity-based Explanations for Fostering Appropriate Trust in AI Agents

Appropriate trust is an important component of the interaction between people and AI systems, in that ‘inappropriate’ trust can cause disuse, misuse or abuse of AI. To foster appropriate trust in AI, we need to understand how AI systems can elicit appropriate levels of trust from their users. Out of the aspects that influence trust, this paper...

Understanding the Role of Explanation Modality in AI-assisted decision-making

Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning have led to a steep rise in the adoption of AI to augment or support human decision-making across domains.<br/>There has been an increasing body of work addressing the benefits of model interpretability and explanations to help end-users or other stakeholders decipher the inner workings of...

Building Appropriate Trust in AI: The Significance of Integrity-Centered Explanations

Establishing an appropriate level of trust between people and AI systems is crucial to avoid the misuse, disuse, or abuse of AI. Understanding how AI systems can generate appropriate levels of trust among users is necessary to achieve this goal. This study focuses on the impact of displaying integrity, which is one of the factors that influence...

Theoretical Representations of the Built Environment

In this chapter, we show what and how space syntax has contributed to theories and general knowledge of the built environment. First, we provide an introduction to two established research traditions, positivism and hermeneutics. The aim is to demonstrate through modal logic what the possibilities and limitations are for gaining general...

Determine and explain confidence in predicting violations on inland ships in the Netherlands

For real-world problems even the most complex machine learning models can only achieve a certain accuracy. This makes it important to understand why a specific prediction is made. Explanations can provide human decision support by allowing human experts to assess the reasoning of the model as well as the correctness. Specifically, in this thesis...

Generating Natural Language Explanations for Group Recommendations in High Divergence Scenarios

In some scenarios, like music or tourism, people often consume items in groups. However, reaching a consensus is difficult as different members of the group may have highly diverging tastes. To keep the rest of the group satisfied, an individual might need to be confronted occasionally with items they do not like. In this context, presenting an...

Evaluating Explanations for different Relationship Strengths

People like to travel in groups to visit places. Group recommendation systems can be used to recommend an itinerary of "places of interests" (POIs) in an ordered sequence. The order of POIs in the sequence can be explained to group members to increase acceptance of the recommended items. There is a possibility that explanations which reveal...

TourExplain: A Crowdsourcing Pipeline for Generating Explanations for Groups of Tourists

When a group is traveling together it is challenging to recommendan itinerary consisting of several points of interest (POIs). Thepreferences of individual group members often diverge, but it isimportant to keep everyone in the group satisfied during the entiretrip. We propose a method to consider the preferences of all thepeople in the group....

Generating Consensus Explanations for Group Recommendations: An exploratory study

In some scenarios, like music, people often consume items in groups. However, reaching a consensus is difficult, and often compromises need to be made. Such compromises can potentially help users expand their tastes. They can also lead to outright rejection of the recommended items. One way to avoid this is to explain recommendations that are...

What is the explanatory power of space syntax theory? the application of modal logics from theory of science

This contribution shows various approaches from the theory of science for revealing the explanatory power of the Space Syntax. In this contribution Bhaskar's critical realistic model of science and Georg Henrik von Wright's account of explanation and understanding are used to assess the explanatory power of Space Syntax research. In essence...
