Explainable AIWhat is it that needs explaining in the context of explainable AI, and who is explaining it to whom? PICO elements Many machine learning algorithms – especially the deep learning variants – are very opaque in the sense that it is not clear to neither user nor developer why they arrive at certain, typically surprising, answers. This has created the demand for so called ‘explainable AI’ where at least deve...
Ten most important risks facing Chinese airlinesTask: You work for a Chinese domestic airline called Jet Safe. In April 2019 Jet Safe generated revenues of CNY 100 million i.e., 500 flights producing (on average) CNY 200,000 each. Revenues are partly determined by demand from international visitors to China who are sensitive to currency movements. Assume that the percentage change in flights in the current month has a delta of 0...

Group formationResearch involves more than just choosing and applying a method. The research agenda has to be planned and executed, the data need to be captured and archived, ethics approval may need to be obtained if human subjects are involved, and finally the results need to be written-up into a report for dissemination and publication. The coursework, therefore, will address all of these aspects to some extent. Caution: in case of ambigui...
Explainable AI and Problem of Opacity(Early) RQ: What is it that needs explaining in the context of explainable AI, and who is explaining it to whom? Problem: Many machine learning algorithms – especially the deep learning variants – are very opaque in the sense that it is not clear to neither user nor developer why they arrive at certain, typically surprising, answers. This has created the demand for so called ‘explainable ...
