Interpretable Convolutional Neural Networks
This paper proposes a method to modify traditional convolutional neural
networks (CNNs) into interpretable CNNs, in order to clarify knowledge
representations in high conv-layers of CNNs. In an interpretable CNN, each
filter in a high conv-layer represents a certain object part. We do not need
any annotations of object parts or textures to supervise the learning process.
Instead, the interpretable CNN automatically assigns each filter in a high
conv-layer with an object part during the learning process. Our method can be
applied to different types of CNNs with different structures. The clear
knowledge representation in an interpretable CNN can help people understand the
logics inside a CNN, i.e., based on which patterns the CNN makes the decision.
Experiments showed that filters in an interpretable CNN were more semantically
meaningful than those in traditional CNNs.Comment: In this version, we release the website of the code. Compared to the
previous version, we have corrected all values of location instability in
Table 3--6 by dividing the values by sqrt(2), i.e., a=a/sqrt(2). Such
revisions do NOT decrease the significance of the superior performance of our
method, because we make the same correction to location-instability values of
all baseline
The Explanation Matters: Enhancing AI Adoption in Human Resource Management
Artificial intelligence (AI) has ubiquitous applications in companies, permeating multiple business divisions like human resource management (HRM). Yet, in these high-stakes domains where transparency and interpretability of results are of utmost importance, the black-box characteristic of AI is even more of a threat to AI adoption. Hence, explainable AI (XAI), which is regular AI equipped with or complemented by techniques to explain it, comes in. We present a systematic literature review of n=62 XAI in HRM papers. Further, we conducted an experiment among a German sample (n=108) of HRM personnel regarding a turnover prediction task with or without (X)AI-support. We find that AI-support leads to better task performance, self-assessment accuracy and response characteristics toward the AI, and XAI, i.e., transparent models allow for more accurate self-assessment of one’s performance. Future studies could enhance our research by employing local explanation techniques on real-world data with a larger and international sample

Advancing Artificial Intelligence in Sensors, Signals, and Imaging Informatics.
ObjectiveTo identify research works that exemplify recent developments in the field of sensors, signals, and imaging informatics.MethodA broad literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science, supplemented with individual papers that were nominated by section editors. A predefined query made from a combination of Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and keywords were used to search both sources. Section editors then filtered the entire set of retrieved papers with each paper having been reviewed by two section editors. Papers were assessed on a three-point Likert scale by two section editors, rated from 0 (do not include) to 2 (should be included). Only papers with a combined score of 2 or above were considered.ResultsA search for papers was executed at the start of January 2019, resulting in a combined set of 1,459 records published in 2018 in 119 unique journals. Section editors jointly filtered the list of candidates down to 14 nominations. The 14 candidate best papers were then ranked by a group of eight external reviewers. Four papers, representing different international groups and journals, were selected as the best papers by consensus of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook editorial board.ConclusionsThe fields of sensors, signals, and imaging informatics have rapidly evolved with the application of novel artificial intelligence/machine learning techniques. Studies have been able to discover hidden patterns and integrate different types of data towards improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. However, the quality of papers varied widely without clear reporting standards for these types of models. Nevertheless, a number of papers have demonstrated useful techniques to improve the generalizability, interpretability, and reproducibility of increasingly sophisticated models
First impressions: A survey on vision-based apparent personality trait analysis

From the past few years, it also became an attractive research area in visual computing. From the computational point of view, by far speech and text have been the most considered cues of information for analyzing personality. However, recently there has been an increasing interest from the computer vision community in analyzing personality from visual data. Recent computer vision approaches are able to accurately analyze human faces, body postures and behaviors, and use these information to infer apparent personality traits. Because of the overwhelming research interest in this topic, and of the potential impact that this sort of methods could have in society, we present in this paper an up-to-date review of existing vision-based approaches for apparent personality trait recognition. We describe seminal and cutting edge works on the subject, discussing and comparing their distinctive features and limitations. Future venues of research in the field are identified and discussed. Furthermore, aspects on the subjectivity in data labeling/evaluation, as well as current datasets and challenges organized to push the research on the field are reviewed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Recruitment systems nowadays: how XAI can improve trust
openThe use of artificial intelligence systems has a strong impact on people’s lives. One of the fields of application in which these systems are being tested is job recruitment. The use of artificial intelligence allows to manage a more complex number of data and to automate some phases of the management of these, making the recruitment process more fluid. It is necessary, therefore, that both the candidate and the human resource manager can trust the choices made by the system. In this thesis we develop the topic of artificial intelligence, focusing in particular on the use of XAI (eXplainable Artificial Intelligence). The implementation of XAI systems significantly improves the level of trust that people have in AI systems. Finally, we offer food for thought on the minimum technical measures to be taken at the design stage so that these systems can operate on European territory, following the guidelines set out in the AI ACT, act promoted by the European Commission to regulate in the field of Artificial Intelligence
A Comprehensive Survey of Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Talent Analytics
In today's competitive and fast-evolving business environment, it is a
critical time for organizations to rethink how to make talent-related decisions
in a quantitative manner. Indeed, the recent development of Big Data and
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have revolutionized human resource
management. The availability of large-scale talent and management-related data
provides unparalleled opportunities for business leaders to comprehend
organizational behaviors and gain tangible knowledge from a data science
perspective, which in turn delivers intelligence for real-time decision-making
and effective talent management at work for their organizations. In the last
decade, talent analytics has emerged as a promising field in applied data
science for human resource management, garnering significant attention from AI
communities and inspiring numerous research efforts. To this end, we present an
up-to-date and comprehensive survey on AI technologies used for talent
analytics in the field of human resource management. Specifically, we first
provide the background knowledge of talent analytics and categorize various
pertinent data. Subsequently, we offer a comprehensive taxonomy of relevant
research efforts, categorized based on three distinct application-driven
scenarios: talent management, organization management, and labor market
analysis. In conclusion, we summarize the open challenges and potential
prospects for future research directions in the domain of AI-driven talent
analytics.Comment: 30 pages, 15 figure
