| Project Title | Explainability of Non-Deterministic Solvers |
| Project Description | Explainable AI is a well-established concept, but research success in the area has mainly focused on methods that mimic human reasoning, making the path to solution readily understood by end-users. In non-deterministic solvers, the path to solution is driven by random processes that accumulate problem learning as they solve, as opposed to deduction from prior knowledge or experience. A technical description of these processes, while in some sense explanatory, is hard for non-experts to comprehend. The research challenge that ENDS will address is how to derive human-understandable knowledge about the problem from the non-deterministic solution process and translate that into an explanatory form for end-users. |
