University of New Orleans computer science professor Ben Samuel will spend a portion of his summer working with the U.S. Navy on an artificial intelligence research project designed to produce AI methods that are easier to interpret and explain.
Samuel has been awarded a Summer Research Fellowship by the Office of Naval Research, which pairs faculty members with naval research mentors. The fellowship offers an opportunity to conduct full-time research of mutual interest to faculty members in academia and to the Navy.
Samuel will join a project where he will leverage his background in game design and interactive storytelling to explore interactive machine learning techniques. The project is working toward the Department of Defense’s broader agenda of explainable artificial intelligence, which is the ability to produce solutions that are clearly understood by humans.
