Biography
Nava Tintarev is a Full Professor of Explainable Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Advanced Computing Sciences (DACS) where she is also the Director of Research. She leads or contributes to several projects in the field of human-computer interaction in artificial advice-giving systems, such as recommender systems; specifically developing the state-of-the-art for automatically generated explanations (transparency) and explanation interfaces (recourse and control). Prof. Tintarev has developed and evaluated explanation interfaces in a wide range of domains (human resources, legal enforcement, nature conservation, music, logistics, and online search), machine learning tasks (recommender systems, classification, search ranking, and neural networks); and modalities (text, graphics, and interactive combinations thereof). She is currently representing Maastricht university as a Co-Investigator in the ROBUST consortium, with a total budget of 95M (25M from NWO) to carry out long term (10-years) research into trustworthy artificial intelligence. She has published around 100 peer-reviewed papers in top human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence journals and conferences such as UMUAI, TiiS, ECAI, CHI, IUI, Recsys, and UMAP. These include best paper awards at the following conferences: CHI, Hypertext, HCOMP, UMAP and CHIIR.
