The purpose of XAI-Healthcare event is to provide a place for intensive discussion on all aspects of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in the medical and healthcare field. This should result in cross-fertilization among research on Machine Learning, Decision Support Systems, Natural Language, Human-Computer Interaction, and Healthcare sciences. This meeting will also provide attendees with an opportunity to learn more on the progress of XAI in healthcare and to share their own perspectives. The panel discussion will provide participants with the insights on current developments and challenges from the researchers working in this fast-developing field.

Explanation Approaches:
- Model agnostic methods
- Feature analysis
- Visualization approaches
- Example-based Explat.
- Fairness, accountability and trust
- Evaluating XAI
- Fairness and bias auditing
- Human-AI interaction
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for XAI
AI techniques:
- Blackbox ML approaches: DL, random forest, etc.
- Interpretable ML models: Rules, Trees, etc.
- Statistical methods
- Case-based reasoning
- Natural Language proc. and generation.
Target healthcare problems:
- Infection challenges (COVID, Antibiotic Resistance, etc.)
- Chronic diseases
- Ageing & home care
Important Dates

Submissions
Papers should be submitted to the XAI-Healthcare Easy Chair Website at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=xaihealthcare2021 Papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
The workshop features regular papers in a single category: short papers (up to 5 pages) describing either original research projects or work-in-progress.
All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings which will be published in arXiv after the papers are presented.
Special Issue Journal
Best papers presented will be invited to extend their manuscript for possible publication in the Special Issue on XAI at the Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (impact factor 4.3).
