Dear colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce the special session “The many aspects of machine learning
explainability in medical imaging” at the 18th International Conference on Computational
Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (CIBB 2023).

– Conference dates: 6-8 September 2022
– Location: Padova (Italy)
– Submission format: short paper (4-6 pages)
– Deadline: 30 April 2023

Submitted contributions will undergo peer review before acceptance. All accepted
contributions will be presented in plenary oral sessions and special sessions.
The authors of all the accepted short papers presented at the conference will be invited to
submit an extended version of their manuscripts to the conference proceedings book
in Springer Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI), or to a supplement in a journal such
as BMC Bioinformatics or BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making.

You are invited to submit a short paper (4-6 pages) describing their original contributions in
the fields of medical imaging, focusing on explainable machine learning, visual analytics for
explainable machine learning, interpretable features, decision-making support in
healthcare, and explainable predictive models.
Please find the call for papers and all the submission details on the conference website

We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
