The core idea is that answers and explanations only extract information from the output of a reasoning process, which does not need to be human-readable. To improve faithfulness, explanations do not depend on answers, and vice versa.

CRISIS IN MACHINE LEARNING - Semantics to the Rescue
Frank van Harmelen starts his keynote at ISWS 2025 with this headline from "The AI Times"
So, what is this crisis about? There are the following (still) unsoloved problems in AI research:
- Learning from small data
- Explainable AI
- Updating
- Learning by explaining

Befuddled by all the recent #DeepSeek hullabaloo? Here's a brief Q&A that cuts through the fog.

Q: Did #DeepSeek just up-end everything we know about #AImodels and #LLMs?
A: Nope. It just demonstrates one of several new approaches to model training and logic chaining, but still uses the same basic building blocks.

Q: Does this mean DeepSeek can think?
A: Nope. Still not #Skynet. Logic chains are just one of several techniques an instruction-oriented AI system can use to try to stay on track and focus on a coherent goal.

Q: Is logic chaining #ExplainableAI?
A: Nope. Even the "thinking" output of DeepSeek is a linguistic approximation of the pattern-seeking behavior of most LLMs.

Q: Why is everyone in an uproar about DeepSeek?
A: Because most people think ChatGPT defines what AI is, what it can do, and what its limitations are.

Q: Why are the people panicking about DeepSeek talking about AI hegemony and geopolitics?
A: Because they're more concerned with investment returns or charging for expensive GPUs and SaaS services than they are in scientific advancements or improving individual productivity with new technology.

This Friday at 12.15 CEST I'll be hosting a talk by computer scientist Kary Främling, in which he will present his work on Explainable AI techniques for producing explanations useful to a variety of stakeholders, rather than only to AI experts.

The talk is hybrid, so even if you are not currently enjoying the very colourful (and very wet) autumn in Umeå, you can join nonetheless!

www.umu.se#frAIday: Social Explainable AI - What is it and how can we make it happen?

I actually had someone reach out to me today about starting a company around some of my previous work on "explainable AI" -- machine learning that results in human-interpretable results, as opposed to the inscrutable tables of numbers that make up neural networks. This is pretty exciting stuff to me, because I've wanted to start a business along these lines for a long time. I also got to introduce someone to the concept of "exit to community", so +1 for social activism, too. And the timing couldn't be better, given the layoff I was just caught by.

📢 5 days till deadline for the Human-centered Explainable AI (#HCXAI) workshop at CHI! Pls repost & help us spread the word 🙏

Submission pro tips:

1. Explicitly address >1 question (CfP) on the website.

2. Yes, papers NOT dealing with LLMs are fine.

3. Engage w/ past submissions (build on, don't repeat)

4. Position papers must make a well-justified argument, not just summarize findings
