摘要：
in this talk, i will cover two main aspects. first, i will present theoretical and experimental research in designing and developing data-driven intelligent cyber-physical systems (cps) integrating symbolic ai and ml-based approaches. such systems require intelligent agents (i) to perceive, analyze and combine uncertain and inconsistent information from multi-model heterogeneous sources for deriving the true state of the world; (ii) to model, correlate, and make inferences about dispersed events from different sources for achieving situation awareness; (iii) to make decisions and to dynamically plan in order to act appropriately. second, i will present our recent research on providing explanations for an ai or ml model used in cps through a large project with five-university partners in which we carried out a field trial study at residential homes. i will then talk about the current research topics and challenges faced by explainable artificial intelligence (xai). a number of demos will be used to illustrate the application potentials of these research activities.
