GENERAL
GENerative, Explainable and Reasonable Artificial Learning (1st edition)
Workshop at CHITALY 2023 - 20th of September 2023
Abstract
The GENERAL workshop explores advances in General and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GGAI), including breakthroughs in areas like natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV). It emphasizes the emerging capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs) and promotes Human-Centered AIs with applications like ChatGPT and Midjourney. The workshop delves into generating human-like content across text and images, highlighting the creative, coherent, and unexpected properties of these AI models. A key aspect is AI explainability, focusing on understanding, explaining, and controlling the complexities of these AI systems in terms of fairness, accountability, and transparency. Additionally, it encourages interdisciplinary collaboration between fields like HCI, psychology, social studies, and the arts to enrich the understanding of AI's societal and cultural impacts.
Topics of interest
We welcome contributions related to general and generative artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary interests, and AI explainability, as well as considering modeling and conceptualization features. Potential topics and areas to be addressed in the workshop are:
- Users perceptions of images, texts and sounds generated by Generative AIs
- Machine Psychology
- AI Assistants, Chatbots and Virtual Agents
- Emerging properties of human-like intelligence in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs)
- Interfaces and techniques for interacting with Generative AIs
- User studies on systems leveraging Generative AI
- AI explainability, transparency, and accountability in large-scale models
- Human-machine cooperation
- Ethical issues in Generative AI
- Consequences of Generative AIs on individuals and societies
- Emerging applications of AI and interdisciplinary research
- Communicating the potential of AI to the general public and fostering public understanding
- Safety and control mechanisms for large language models: analyzing and mitigating harms from generative AI like misinformation, biases, or synthetic media

Paper Submissions
Papers must be submitted online via EasyChair submission system. All paper submissions must be in English. The papers must be formatted using the CEUR Workshop Proceedings template.
We accept two kinds of submissions:
- Regular papers (up to 12 pages, including references)
- Position Papers, Ongoing projects and Demos (5-8 pages + references)
All the papers will be subject to a double review process by the members of the Programme Committee. The proceedings with the papers accepted to the workshop will be published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings, and will be indexed by SCOPUS.
We also accept manifestations of interest consisting of a brief bio of the participants and a paragraph stating why it is interesting for them to participate in the workshop. These manifestations won't be published in the workshop proceedings.
