Abstract:In the diverse world of AI-driven storytelling, there is a unique opportunity to engage young audiences with customized, and personalized narratives. This paper introduces FairyLandAI an innovative Large Language Model (LLM) developed through OpenAI's API, specifically crafted to create personalized fairytales for children. The distinctive feature of FairyLandAI is its dual capability: it not only generates stories that are engaging, age-appropriate, and reflective of various traditions but also autonomously produces imaginative prompts suitable for advanced image generation tools like GenAI and Dalle-3, thereby enriching the storytelling experience. FairyLandAI is expertly tailored to resonate with the imaginative worlds of children, providing narratives that are both educational and entertaining and in alignment with the moral values inherent in different ages. Its unique strength lies in customizing stories to match individual children's preferences and cultural backgrounds, heralding a new era in personalized storytelling. Further, its integration with image generation technology offers a comprehensive narrative experience that stimulates both verbal and visual creativity. Empirical evaluations of FairyLandAI demonstrate its effectiveness in crafting captivating stories for children, which not only entertain but also embody the values and teachings of diverse traditions. This model serves as an invaluable tool for parents and educators, supporting them in imparting meaningful moral lessons through engaging narratives. FairyLandAI represents a pioneering step in using LLMs, particularly through OpenAI's API, for educational and cultural enrichment, making complex moral narratives accessible and enjoyable for young, imaginative minds.
Abstract:The field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) often focuses on users with a strong technical background, making it challenging for non-experts to understand XAI methods. This paper presents "x-[plAIn]", a new approach to make XAI more accessible to a wider audience through a custom Large Language Model (LLM), developed using ChatGPT Builder. Our goal was to design a model that can generate clear, concise summaries of various XAI methods, tailored for different audiences, including business professionals and academics. The key feature of our model is its ability to adapt explanations to match each audience group's knowledge level and interests. Our approach still offers timely insights, facilitating the decision-making process by the end users. Results from our use-case studies show that our model is effective in providing easy-to-understand, audience-specific explanations, regardless of the XAI method used. This adaptability improves the accessibility of XAI, bridging the gap between complex AI technologies and their practical applications. Our findings indicate a promising direction for LLMs in making advanced AI concepts more accessible to a diverse range of users.
Abstract:In the domain of Mobility Data Science, the intricate task of interpreting models trained on trajectory data, and elucidating the spatio-temporal movement of entities, has persistently posed significant challenges. Conventional XAI techniques, although brimming with potential, frequently overlook the distinct structure and nuances inherent within trajectory data. Observing this deficiency, we introduced a comprehensive framework that harmonizes pivotal XAI techniques: LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations), SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), Saliency maps, attention mechanisms, direct trajectory visualization, and Permutation Feature Importance (PFI). Unlike conventional strategies that deploy these methods singularly, our unified approach capitalizes on the collective efficacy of these techniques, yielding deeper and more granular insights for models reliant on trajectory data. In crafting this synthesis, we effectively address the multifaceted essence of trajectories, achieving not only amplified interpretability but also a nuanced, contextually rich comprehension of model decisions. To validate and enhance our framework, we undertook a survey to gauge preferences and reception among various user demographics. Our findings underscored a dichotomy: professionals with academic orientations, particularly those in roles like Data Scientist, IT Expert, and ML Engineer, showcased a profound, technical understanding and often exhibited a predilection for amalgamated methods for interpretability. Conversely, end-users or individuals less acquainted with AI and Data Science showcased simpler inclinations, such as bar plots indicating timestep significance or visual depictions pinpointing pivotal segments of a vessel's trajectory.
Abstract:Although much work has been done on explainability in the computer vision and natural language processing (NLP) fields, there is still much work to be done to explain methods applied to time series as time series by nature can not be understood at first sight. In this paper, we present a Deep Neural Network (DNN) in a teacher-student architecture (distillation model) that offers interpretability in time-series classification tasks. The explainability of our approach is based on transforming the time series to 2D plots and applying image highlight methods (such as LIME and GradCam), making the predictions interpretable. At the same time, the proposed approach offers increased accuracy competing with the baseline model with the trade-off of increasing the training time.
