AI for healthcare has emerged into a very active research area in the past few years and has made significant progress. While existing results are encouraging, not too many clinical AI solutions are deployed in hospitals or actively utilized by physicians. A major problem is that existing clinical AI methods are less trustworthy. For example, existing approaches make clinical decisions in a black-box way, which renders the decisions difficult to understand and less transparent. Existing solutions are not robust to small perturbations or potentially adversarial attacks, which raises security and privacy concerns. In addition, existing methods are often biased to specific ethnic groups or subpopulations. As a result, physicians are reluctant to use these solutions since clinical decisions are mission-critical and have to be made with high trust and reliability.

In this workshop, we aim to address the trustworthy issues of clinical AI solutions. We invite submissions of short papers (up to 4 pages excluding references, in AAAI format) studying trustworthy AI for healthcare. The topics include but are not limited to:

Interpretable AI methods for healthcare

- Robustness of clinical AI methods

- Medical knowledge grounded AI

- Physician-in-the-loop AI

- Security and privacy in clinical AI

- Fairness in AI for healthcare

- Ethics in AI for healthcare

- Robust and interpretable natural language processing for healthcare

- Methods for robust weak supervision
