Applying Interdisciplinary Frameworks to Understand Algorithmic Decision-Making

Abstract

We argue that explanations for "algorithmic decision-making" (ADM) systems can profit by adopting practices that are already used in the learning sciences. We shortly introduce the importance of explaining ADM systems, give a brief overview of approaches drawing from other disciplines to improve explanations, and present the results of our qualitative task-based study incorporating the "six facets of understanding" framework. We close with questions guiding the discussion of how future studies can leverage an interdisciplinary approach.
