inteligencia artificial explicable, modelos interpretables, aprendizaje automático, transparenciaResumen
Este trabajo propone la realización de una comparación entre modelos interpretables (interpretable models) y las técnicas de explicación (explanation techniques o XAI methods) en términos taxonómicos de demarcación conceptual. A través de un enfoque denominado desarrollo de marco conceptual (DMC), y la aplicación formal de un modelo de este campo, se ejemplifica el uso de esta tecnología disponible respecto al campo de las ciencias sociales y humanas. Los resultados evidencian un enorme potencial de esta área en la aplicación metodológica de estos enfoques en las ciencias sociales y humanas de vanguardia. Se concluye con la reflexión pertinente del aporte computacional de estas ideas sobre problemas complejos en términos de modelado, datos, evidencias y la transparencia necesaria de las dinámicas investigativas contemporáneas.
