5th World Conference on eXplainable Artificial Intelligence
The conference invites submissions of Demos showcasing innovative XAI-based systems and research prototypes that advance the theory and practice of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence. We welcome interactive demonstrations of novel approaches, tools, methods, and applications that enable users to understand, explore, interrogate, evaluate, or interact with AI systems and their explanations. Demos may address any aspect of XAI, including new explanation techniques, interactive and human-centred XAI, explainable generative AI, model debugging and evaluation, trustworthy and responsible AI, multimodal explanations, and domain-specific XAI applications. We particularly encourage submissions that provide an engaging, hands-on experience and allow conference participants to directly explore the proposed system, its capabilities, and its potential applications. The demo track aims to create an interactive forum for showcasing emerging XAI technologies, exchanging ideas, gathering feedback, and fostering discussion and collaboration within the XAI community.
Authors of demos are required to submit the following information:
| 1 | A manuscript describing the xAI-based system and its technical details and functioning (max 8 pages, including references) -> (required) |
| 2 | A document (pdf) describing how demonstrators will present the demo [for example, on their laptop as a pre-recorded video or via interactive technology. See also below for further details.] (Required) |
*note that a different file must be created for each point above. For point 1, instructions can be found below.
Publication and indexing
All the accepted and presented manuscripts “shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication” in a dedicated free, open-access volume in CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Since CEUR partners with Scopus, these proposals will also be indexed in it.
Note that “shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication” means we do not have control over the decision taken by the CEUR-WS committee to approve them, as reported in the publishing guidelines by CEUR-WS.org. However, since the conference organisation strictly adheres to these guidelines, we can be sure that CEUR-WS will accept our request.
