We introduce four principles for explainable artificial intelligence (AI) that comprise the fundamental properties AI systems.They were developed to encompass multidisciplinary nature of AI, including fields computer science, engineering, and psychology.Because one size fits all explanations do not exist, different users will require types explanations.We present five categories explanation summarize theories AI.We give an overview algorithms in field cover major classes algorithms.As a...
Abstract The sex chromosomes contain complex, important genes impacting medical phenotypes, but differ from the autosomes in their ploidy and large repetitive regions. To enable technology developers along with research clinical laboratories to evaluate variant detection on male X Y, we create a small benchmark set 111,725 variants for Genome Bottle HG002 reference material. We develop an active evaluation approach demonstrate reliably identifies errors challenging genomic regions across...
Ecology has reached the point where data science competitions, in which multiple groups solve same problem using by different methods, will be productive for advancing quantitative methods tasks such as species identification from remote sensing images. We ran a competition to help improve three that are central converting images into information on individual trees: (1) crown segmentation, identifying location and size of trees; (2) alignment, match ground truthed trees with sensing; (3)...

We examine foundational issues in data science including current challenges, basic research questions, and expected advances, as the basis for a new Data Science Initiative evaluation series, introduced by National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) fall 2015. The evaluations will facilitate efforts, collaboration, leverage shared infrastructure, effectively address cross-cutting challenges faced diverse communities. have multiple tracks championed members community, enable rigorous...
While prior evaluation methodologies for data-science research have focused on efficient and effective teamwork independent data science problems within given fields [1], this paper argues that an enriched notion of evaluation-driven (EDR) supports solutions to across multiple fields. We adopt the view progress in is through examination a range many different areas (traffic, healthcare, finance, sports, etc.) development paradigms span diverse disciplines, domains, problems, tasks. A number...
This paper establishes relative expressiveness results for several modal mu-calculi interpreted over timed automata. These combine modalities expressing passage of (real) time with a general framework defining formulas recursively; variants have been proposed in the literature. We show that one logic, which we call $L^{rel}_{ν,μ}$, is strictly more expressive than other considered. It also temporal logic TCTL, while are incomparable TCTL setting
Abstract The sex chromosomes contain complex, important genes impacting medical phenotypes, but differ from the autosomes in their ploidy and large repetitive regions. To evaluate variant detection on X Y, we created an 111,725 benchmark for Genome a Bottle HG002 reference material. We show how complete assemblies can expand benchmarks to difficult regions, highlight remaining challenges benchmarking complex gene conversions, copy number variable arrays, human satellites.

The Information Access Division (IAD) of the National Institute Standards and Technology (NIST) launched a new Data Science Initiative in fall 2015. This initiative focuses on evaluation-driven research will establish Evaluation series to facilitate collaboration, leverage shared technology infrastructure, further build strengthen data science community. evaluation consist pre-pilot be 2015, pilot 2016, full-scale multiple-track 2017. In addition these evaluations, this aims address several...
