Prof. Kowalski Leads Course on Explainable AI in Neural Networks

From November 7th to 14th, Prof. Piotr Andrzej Kowalski will be teaching an advanced course on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) with a focus on neural networks. The course, aimed at shedding light on the decision-making processes of complex neural models, addresses one of AI's biggest challenges: its "black-box" nature.

Throughout the five sessions, participants will learn essential interpretability techniques such as LIME and SHAP, explore sensitivity analysis methods, and delve into real-world applications in healthcare and environmental monitoring. A strong emphasis will also be placed on ethical issues, including bias and fairness in AI.
