SUMMARY:Why Did You Do That? Use Actual Causality to Explain the Problems 
 (or the Lack of Problems) in Your Life - Hana Chockler (King's College Lon
 don)

DESCRIPTION:\nIn this talk I will (briefly and informally) introduce the t
 heory of actual causality as defined by Halpern and Pearl and its quantifi
 cation. This theory turns out to be extremely useful for explaining output
 s of computerised systems due to a good match between the results it produ
 ces and our intuition.&nbsp\;\n\n\nWe will then look in more detail at the
  application of actual causality to explainability of AI systems (XAI). I 
 will present an overview of our tool ReX (Responsibility-based EXplanation
 s) and discuss its variants and directions for future work. Time permittin
 g\, I will touch upon the problem of explanations of absence and how they 
 can be addressed in the theory of actual causality and in our tool.\n&nbsp
 \;\n\nThe talk is based on a number of papers\, and\, while not strictly l
 imited to my own research\, the topics are quite broad\, so I will be most
 ly talking about my work with different co-authors. The talk is reasonably
  self-contained and non-technical (as in "there will be no formulae on the
  slides").
