Indo-French International Workshop on Explainable/Responsible Artificial Intelligence and Machine/Deep Learning for Understanding Human Brain and Related Disorders from 19th Feb-21st Feb 2024 at KL University.

BACKGROUND OF WORKSHOP:
The main goal of the proposed workshop is to identify complementary areas in brain research in France and India as well as explore potential collaboration opportunities. Preventing neurological disorders and improving treatments is more necessary than ever now, as brain disorders such as Alzheimer's' and Parkinson's disease are becoming more common among ageing populations. Globally, one in six of the world's population are affected by brain disorders and by 2050 the cases are projected to be tripled.

Research in neurosciences in India falls into 3 sub-divisions, i.e., cognitive, systems and computational neurosciences. Major topics include modeling of sensory and multisensory perception, how the brain works in cellular or network levels, brain-inspired processing systems, and use of artificial intelligence (Al) in brain research. Key topics include major breakthroughs in genomics, applications of Al in brain data analysis, cellular and molecular neurobiology, cognitive, clinical and translational neuroscience. Explainable Al (XAI) is a new branch in Al research which aims towards helping medical experts to understand the decision processes behind decisions of Al models. XAI would form a key topic of discussion during this workshop. This could be a potential avenue for attracting interests and collaborations between academia, industry and clinics which are working on advanced Al powered solutions in brain focused healthcare applications. This workshop proposal which is jointly submitted by KL Deemed University in India and Paris Brain Institute from France could foster further collaborations between institutes and centers in India and France. Both countries have great potentials for advanced research in brain, neuroscience, neuropathology and artificial intelligence. This workshop could become the venue for collaborations of great minds and young researchers to lay the foundations for building a joint Indo-French Centre for brain and artificial intelligence research.

MAIN OBJECTIVES:
~ To understand Human rain structure and function using Al/ML/DL v Al/ML/DL in mapping Biomarkers for brain disorders
• To create a platform for young scientists/doctors to debate on this interdisciplinary research
• To identify the critical problems in brain research and finding novel ways to solve them
• To discuss potentials of Al explainability and Al responsibility in brain research with academic and industrial partners ~ Novel brain-inspired Al technologies (federative learning, swarm Al, multiple instances learning, etc.)
