We invite papers covering all topics within XAI for computer vision, including but not limited to:

– Attribution maps

– Evaluating XAI methods

– Intrinsically explainable models

– Language as an explanation for vision models

– Counterfactual explanations

– Causality in XAI for vision models

– Mechanistic interpretability

– XAI beyond classification (e.g., segmentation or other disciplines of computer vision)

– Concept discovery

We also have a Non-Proceedings / Nectar Track to highlight already published works.

About: Deep neural networks (DNNs) are an essential component in the field of computer vision and achieve state-of-the-art results in almost all of its sub-disciplines. While DNNs excel at predictive performance, they are often too complex to be understood by humans, leading to them often being referred to as “black-box models”. This is of particular concern when DNNs are applied in safety-critical domains such as autonomous driving or medical applications. With this problem in mind, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) aims to gain a better understanding of DNNs, ultimately leading to more robust, fair, and interpretable models. To this end, a variety of different approaches such as attribution maps, intrinsically explainable models, and mechanistic interpretability methods have been developed. While this important field of research is gaining more and more traction, there is also justified criticism of the way in which the research is conducted. For example, the term “explainability” in itself is not properly defined and is highly dependent on the end user and the task, leading to ill-defined research questions and no standardized evaluation practices. The goals of this workshop are thus two-fold:
