    • The Best Way to Instil Confidence is by Being Right An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Case-Based Explanations in providing User Confidence 

      Nugent, Conor; Cunningham, Padraig; Doyle, Donal (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2005-02-07)
      Instilling confidence in the abilities of machine learning systems in end-users is seen as critical to their success in real world problems. One way in which this can be achieved is by providing users with interpretable ...

    • A Case-Based Explanation System for `Black-Box? Systems 

      Nugent, Conor; Cunningham, Padraig (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2004-06-23)
      Most users of machine-learning products are reluctant to use the systems without any sense of the underlying logic that has led to the system?s predictions. Unfortunately many of these systems lack any transparency in the ...

    • Gaining Insight through Case-Based Explanation 

      Nugent, Conor; Doyle, Donal; Cunningham, Padraig (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2004-12)
      Because CBR is an interpretable process, it is a reasoning mechanism that supports explanation. This can be done explicitly by the system designers incorporating explanation patterns in cases. This can be termed knowl ...

    • Object Recognition and Active Learning in Microscope Images 

      Nugent, Conor; Cunningham, Padraig (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 2006-07-26)
      Microscopic analysis forms an integral part of many scientific studies. It is a task which requires great expertise and care. However, it can often be an extremely repetitive and laborious task. In some cases many ...
