Lorentz-eScience Competition
Explainable AI for science (Closed for submission)
This call from 2021 is now closed. The annual Lorentz-eScience Competition for 2022 is now open.
Every year the Netherlands eScience Center and the Lorentz Center invite researchers to join the Lorentz-eScience competition. This year the competition aims to host a leading-edge workshop on explainable AI for science.
High predictive accuracy AI models are often used to tackle data-driven research challenges. AI explainability technology is an important instrument in building trust in AI solutions, while enabling new insights and scientific discoveries. The workshop should bring together researchers and AI experts from the academic community and the public/ private sector. The winner will organize a workshop at the Lorentz Center at Snellius in Leiden, the Netherlands.
What we seek
• an innovative scientific program, that takes us beyond current boundaries
