Mini Course MAKE-Decisions:
From Data Science to Explainable AI
“It is remarkable that a science which began with the consideration of games of
chance should have become the most important object of human knowledge”
Pierre Simon de Laplace, 1812.
Summer Term 2018
Short Description: This Mini-Course is an introduction into a core area of health informatics and helps to understand decision making and how human intelligence can be augmented by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) (-> What is the difference between AI/ML?), the lecturer, Andreas Holzinger, has taught this course in various versions, variations and duration since 2005.

Short Bio of Lecturer:
Andreas Holzinger is lead of the Holzinger Group, HCI-KDD, Institute for Medical Informatics/Statistics at the Medical University Graz, and Associate Professor of Applied Computer Science at the Faculty of Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering at Graz University of Technology. He serves as consultant for the Canadian, US, UK, Swiss, French, Italian and Dutch governments, for the German Excellence Initiative, and as national expert in the European Commission. Andreas obtained a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from Graz University in 1998 and his Habilitation (second Ph.D.) in Computer Science from Graz University of Technology in 2003. Andreas was Visiting Professor for Machine Learning & Knowledge Extraction in Verona, RWTH Aachen, University College London and Middlesex University London. Since 2016 Andreas is Visiting Professor for Machine Learning in Health Informatics at the Faculty of Informatics at Vienna University of Technology. He founded the Expert Network HCI-KDD to foster a synergistic combination of methodologies of two areas that offer ideal conditions toward unraveling problems in understanding intelligence: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) & Knowledge Discovery/Data Mining (KDD), with the goal of augmenting human intelligence with artificial intelligence. Andreas is Associate Editor of Knowledge and Information Systems (KAIS), Section Editor of BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making (MIDM), and Editor-in-Chief of Machine Learning & Knowledge Extraction (MAKE). He is organizer of the IFIP Cross-Domain Conference “Machine Learning & Knowledge Extraction (CD-MAKE)” and member of the IFIP TC 12 Artificial Intelligence and IFIP WG 12.9 Computational Intelligence, the ACM, IEEE, GI, the Austrian Computer Science and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). Since 2003 Andreas has participated in leading positions in 30+ R&D multi-national projects, budget 4+ MEUR, 300+ publications, 9600+ citations, h-Index = 44.
