TLDR
This survey provides an entry point for interested researchers and practitioners to learn key aspects of the young and rapidly growing body of research related to XAI, and review the existing approaches regarding the topic, discuss trends surrounding its sphere, and present major research trajectories.
Abstract
At the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, we are witnessing a fast and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily life, which contributes to accelerating the shift towards a more algorithmic society. However, even with such unprecedented advancements, a key impediment to the use of AI-based systems is that they often lack transparency. Indeed, the black-box nature of these systems allows powerful predictions, but it cannot be directly explained. This issue has triggered a new debate on explainable AI (XAI). A research field holds substantial promise for improving trust and transparency of AI-based systems. It is recognized as the sine qua non for AI to continue making steady progress without disruption. This survey provides an entry point for interested researchers and practitioners to learn key aspects of the young and rapidly growing body of research related to XAI. Through the lens of the literature, we review the existing approaches regarding the topic, discuss trends surrounding its sphere, and present major research trajectories.

End to End Learning for Self-Driving Cars

TL;DR: A convolutional neural network is trained to map raw pixels from a single front-facing camera directly to steering commands and it is argued that this will eventually lead to better performance and smaller systems.

Leo Breiman
- 01 Aug 2001 - 
TL;DR: Algorithmic models have been widely used in fields outside statistics as discussed by the authors, both in theory and practice, and can be used both on large complex data sets and as a more accurate and informative alternative to data modeling on smaller data sets.
