The 2023 Workshop on Causal and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (CXAI) will be held in Shanghai, China on 1 December 2023, as a part of the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM 2023).

Over the last decade, machine learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been increasingly adopted in various domains, such as healthcare, finance, and transportation. However, the lack of transparency and interpretability in AI/ML models has resulted in a growing demand to make them more understandable to humans. This is crucial for ensuring effective collaboration between humans and AI systems, and for ensuring regulatory compliance. Therefore, the upcoming CXAI workshop aims to address these challenges by providing a platform for AI/ML researchers and practitioners from various countries to share their recent research outcomes and experiences in causal inference/discovery and interpretable/explainable AI. The workshop will take place on 4 Dec 2023 and will focus on improving transparency and interpretability in AI/ML models for real-world applications.
