An Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) based approach to action forecasting using structured database and object affordances definition and the efficiency of the presented solution was compared to the other baā seline algorithms.
: Despite the growing popularity of machine learning technology, visionābased action recognition/forecasting systems are seen as blackāboxes by the user. The effectiā veness of such systems depends on the machine learning algorithms, it is difficult (or impossible) to explain the deā cisions making processes to the users. In this context, an approach that offers the user understanding of these reā asoning models is significant. To do this, we present an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) based approach to action forecasting using structured database and object affordances definition. The structured database is supā porting the prediction process. The method allows to viā sualize the components of the structured database. Later, the components of the base are used for forecasting the nominally possible motion goals. The object affordance explicated by the probability functions supports the seā lection of possible motion goals. The presented methodoā logy allows satisfactory explanations of the reasoning beā hind the inference mechanism. Experimental evaluation was conducted using the WUTā18 dataset, the efficiency of the presented solution was compared to the other baā seline algorithms.
