Each group discusses the function, user context, and potential need for explanation.?: 10:45 AM - 11:00 AMCoffee Break?: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMSession 2.A – Case Studies & Stakeholder PerspectivesInfo: Groups select representative applications and analyse them from various stakeholder viewpoints—end user, developer, deployer. They examine what concerns arise, what explanations are required, and what barriers limit explainability.Session 2.A for first two.?: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PMLunch Break?: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PMSession 2.B – Case Studies & Stakeholder PerspectivesInfo: Groups select representative applications and analyse them from various stakeholder viewpoints—end user, developer, deployer.

Session 2.A for last two.?: 02:00 PM - 02:15 PMCoffee Break?: 02:15 PM - 03:45 PMSession 3 – Overcoming Barriers: Mini ChallengeInfo: Participants form new teams for an interactive challenge. Each team reviews the barriers identified earlier and proposes concise, practical ideas for overcoming them through improved design, interaction, or communication. Teams present three-minute pitches; participants vote for the most promising ideas.?: 03:45 PM - 04:00 PMClosing Remarks - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/southampton/explainability-in-speech-and-audio-ai-at-the-edge/100001968503850006 - **Event Categories**: contests, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Southampton - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Room 4011, Building 100 - **lat**: 50.9367904 - **long**: -1.3976205 - **full address**: Room 4011, Building 100, University Road, Southampton, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Explainability in Speech and Audio AI at the Edge - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/c09897b69da2ffe3ec8007bfbf2110046fcb330bfcdfac7b74783bcb4e15becd-rimg-w1200-h675-dc1c2a3e-gmir.jpg?v=1763347702 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Explainability in Speech and Audio AI at the Edge being held? - **A:** Explainability in Speech and Audio AI at the Edge takes place on Tue, 20 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 am to Tue, 20 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Room 4011, Building 100, University Road, Southampton, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Explainability in Speech and Audio AI at the Edge? - **A:** Explainability in Speech and Audio AI at the Edge is organized by Xiaoliang Wu. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
