• Authors: Michael Guckert, Nils Gumpfer, Jennifer Hannig, Till Keller and Neil Urquhart
• Abstract summary: Trust in algorithms can be established by letting users interact with the system. Reflecting features and patterns of human understanding of a domain against algorithmic results can create awareness of such patterns. Close inspection can be used to decide whether a solution conforms to the expectations or whether it goes beyond the expected.

• Abstract: Intelligent information systems that contain emergent elements often encounter trust problems because results do not get sufficiently explained and the procedure itself can not be fully retraced. This is caused by a control flow depending either on stochastic elements or on the structure and relevance of the input data. Trust in such algorithms can be established by letting users interact with the system so that they can explore results and find patterns that can be compared with their expected solution. Reflecting features and patterns of human understanding of a domain against algorithmic results can create awareness of such patterns and may increase the trust that a user has in the solution. If expectations are not met, close inspection can be used to decide whether a solution conforms to the expectations or whether it goes beyond the expected. By either accepting or rejecting a solution, the user's set of expectations evolves and a learning process for the users is established. In this paper we present a conceptual framework that reflects and supports this process. The framework is the result of an analysis of two exemplary case studies from two different disciplines with information systems that assist experts in their complex tasks.

• Discovering Decision Manifolds to Assure Trusted Autonomous Systems [0.0]
  We propose an optimization-based search technique for capturing the range of correct and incorrect responses a system could exhibit. This manifold provides a more detailed understanding of system reliability than traditional testing or Monte Carlo simulations. In this proof-of-concept, we apply our method to a software-in-the-loop evaluation of an autonomous vehicle.

This is achieved via a dual-system framework that integrates cognition and decision systems. We present comprehensive evaluation results on four datasets, demonstrating the feasibility and trustworthiness of our proposed framework.

  Simpson's paradox is a phenomenon where aggregated and subgroup-level associations contradict with each other. Existing tools provide little insights for humans to locate, reason about, and prevent pitfalls of spurious association in practice. We propose VISPUR, a visual analytic system that provides a causal analysis framework and a human-centric workflow for tackling spurious associations.

  We show how to develop interpretable representations of how agents make decisions. By understanding the decision-making processes underlying a set of observed trajectories, we cast the policy inference problem as the inverse to this online learning problem. We introduce a practical algorithm for retrospectively estimating such perceived effects, alongside the process through which agents update them. Through application to the analysis of UNOS organ donation acceptance decisions, we demonstrate that our approach can bring valuable insights into the factors that govern decision processes and how they change over time.

• Leveraging Expert Consistency to Improve Algorithmic Decision Support [62.61153549123407]
  We explore the use of historical expert decisions as a rich source of information that can be combined with observed outcomes to narrow the construct gap. We propose an influence function-based methodology to estimate expert consistency indirectly when each case in the data is assessed by a single expert. Our empirical evaluation, using simulations in a clinical setting and real-world data from the child welfare domain, indicates that the proposed approach successfully narrows the construct gap.
