Abstract. To better characterize the adaptation process of a user interface, we introduce an adaptation profile and a design space based on the seven adaptation stages defined in the GISATIE life-cycle: goals, initiative, specification, application, transition, interpretation, and evaluation. The adaptation profile expresses who is responsible for ensuring each adaptation cycle: one or several end users, one or several machine agents, one or many third parties, and any combination of the former. The adaptation design space expresses seven key dimensions along which adaptation can be decided and designed: autonomy level, granularity level, task resuming granularity, user interface deployment, technological space coverage, user feedback, and modality. Some examples are included to illustrate how to use this profile and design space for two systems ensuring user interface adaptation to some extent.

Abstract. Explainable Artificial Intelligence has received a lot of interest and has been growing steadily in the last few years. This is because Machine Learning and Deep Learning domains overgrew creating more complex models that are highly accurate but lack explainability and interpretability. The aim of this paper is to present two most used model-agnostic explanation methods and experiment with them on a conversational dataset.
