Session Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for Environmental Science


Description:

This session invites abstracts on projects utilizing explainable artificial intelligence methods in their models and/or post processing applications. We particularly encourage abstracts that describe how the XAI methods impacted the final model development and analysis and/or were utilized with model users in mind.
