Plenary talks
 Prof. Naoya Ohta
Research, Development, andSocial Experiments of New
Transportation Methods inGunma University
Director of the Center for Research on Adoptionof NextGen Transportation Systems, GunmaUniversity
In this talk, we present activities of our researchcenter. Our projects include automated driving,transportation using slow or narrow vehicles, andautomatic moving chairs. Among them, theproject attracting large attention recently isautomatic driving, so we mainly talk about theautomated driving project. We have anothersuccessful project called the slow mobility
project, where we pursue effective usage of slow
speed electric buses for transportation in localcommunities. We first briefly present the slow
mobility project, and then talk about theautomated driving project.
 Dr. Jose M. AlonsoInteractive Natural Language
Technology for Human-Centric
Explainable Artificial Intelligence
CiTIUS, Universidade de Santiago
de Compostela, Spain
The main goal of this talk is to provide audience
with a holistic view of fundamentals and current
research trends in the XAI field, paying special
attention to Interactive Natural Language
Technology for XAI (i.e., semantic-groundedknowledge representation, natural language andargumentation technologies as well as humanmachine interaction).
