APPLY

The European network for Argumentation and Public PoLicY analysis (APPLY) improves the way European citizens understand, evaluate and contribute to public decision-making on such matters of common concern as climate change or energy policies. Addressing this need from a multidisciplinary perspective on argumentation, the APPLY Action identifies gaps between the citizens’, policymakers’ and scholarly experts’ argumentation, and explores ways of treating them.

InDeep: Interpretating Deep Learning Models for Text and Sound

We develop and study interpretability methods for deep learning models for text, translation, speech and music. These methods aim to “open the blackbox” of these models, to allow us to generate explanations, to inspect and audit models, to incorporate existing expertise and for users to adapt these models to their needs.
