BioVis Meetup #10: Collaborating with Biomedical AI through Visual Explanations and Interactive Guidance
Join us for the next meetup:
Wednesday, 15th of October at 5pm Berlin / 4 pm London:
“Collaborating with Biomedical AI through Visual Explanations and Interactive Guidance“
Qianwen Wang, Univ Minnesota
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has advanced at a rapid pace and is expected to revolutionize many biomedical applications. However, current AI methods are usually developed via a data-centric approach regardless of the usage context and the end users, posing challenges for domain users in interpreting AI, obtaining actionable insights, and collaborating with AI in decision-making and knowledge discovery. In this talk, I discussed how this challenge can be addressed by combining interactive visualizations with interpretable AI. Specifically, I present two methodologies: 1) visualizations that explain AI models and predictions and 2) interaction mechanisms that integrate user feedback into AI models. Despite some challenges, I will conclude on an optimistic note: interactive visual explanations should be indispensable for human-AI collaboration. The methodology discussed can be applied generally to other applications where human-AI collaborations are involved, assisting domain experts in data exploration and insight generation with the help of AI.
