HUMAN-CENTERED AI …

needs a concerted international effort without boundaries, supporting collaborative and integrative research between experts from seven fields: ❶ data science, ❷ algorithms, ❸ network science, ❹ graphs/topology, ❺ time/entropy, ❻ visualization, and ❼ privacy, data protection, safety and security.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered by Machine Learning (ML) in domains that impact human life (agriculture, climate, forestry, health, …) has led to an increased demand for trustworthy AI. The international expert community is working together on generic methods to promote robustness and explainability to foster secure AI solutions and advocate a synergistic approach to provide human control over AI and to align AI with human values, ethical principles, and legal requirements to ensure privacy, security, and safety.

A synergistic combination of methodologies and approaches of seven different areas must work jointly together to accompany the entire value chain and so that human intelligence can be supported and augmented by computational intelligence. Historically the Human-Centered AI approach with the mission of augmenting human intelligence with articial intelligence results from two large and successful scientific communities: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) dealing with human intelligence and Knowledge Discovery/Data Mining (KDD) dealing with computational intelligence – always ensuring privacy, security, and safety:

integrative interactive machine learning human-in-the-loop

The knowledge discovery pipeline needs a concerted cross-disciplinary effort of diverse experts

The cross-domain integration and appraisal of different fields shall provide an atmosphere to foster different perspectives and opinions; it will offer a platform for novel ideas and a fresh look on the methodologies to support crazy ideas – and at the end of the day to put these ideas into Business. The initial idea can be read [here],<springerlink>.

The mission of the international expert network HCI-KDD is to bring together diverse researchers sharing a common vision and to stimulate crazy ideas and a fresh look to methodologies from other disciplines without any boundaries, encouraging multi-disciplinary work, to bundle synergies, to participate in joint project proposals for getting funding on various levels, inclusive travel funds, international student exchange and promoting young and early-stage researchers.

The expert network HCAI founded in 2011 organizes special sessions at least once a year, see e.g. [1st – Graz], [2nd – Macau], [3rd – Maribor], [4th – Regensburg], [5th Lisbon], [6th Warszawa], [7th Banff], [8th London], [9th Salzburg], [10a Reggio di Calabria][10b Reggio di Calabria], and ultimately resulted in 2017 in the CD-MAKE: International Cross-Domain Conference for Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction

MAKE Machine Learning and Knowledge Extraction is the workhorse of Artificial Intelligence !

CD stands for Cross Domain to emphasize the cross-cutting aspect of MAKE.
