This panel discussion will offer a few different perspectives on Explainable AI. There will be time for Q&A after these short presentations. Titles for the short presentations and corresponding references are provided below.

Paulo Lisboa: “Given tabular data, ANOVA can express any black box classifier as a sum of non-linear and non-overlapping functions of fewer variables. The derived models make plausible predictions for real-world data and buck the performance-transparency trade-off even against deep learning.”
