The Task Force on Explainable Fuzzy Systems (TF-EXFS) is a Task Force of the Fuzzy Systems Technical Committee (FSTC) which belongs to the Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).

The mission of this Task Force is to lead the development of a new generation of Explainable Fuzzy Systems, with a holistic view of fundamentals and current research trends in the XAI field, paying special attention to fuzzy-grounded knowledge representation and reasoning but also regarding how to enhance human-machine interaction through multi-modal (e.g., graphical or textual modalities) effective explanations. Notice that, given the multidisciplinary nature of the XAI research field, the scope of this task force goes beyond the usual topics treated by the fuzzy community. The activities to be developed will be of interest for researchers, from both academy and industry, working in the fields of Artificial and Computational Intelligence (with special attention to Fuzzy Logic but addressing also XAI challenges on Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Bayesian Networks, Bio-inspired algorithms, etc.). The final goal is to pave the way from Interpretable Fuzzy Systems toward XAI systems.
