This page provides a list of my papers (and other contributions) related to explainable machine learning:
Software for explainable machine learning
EasyMiner.eu (project lead)
Assocation rule classification rCBA R package (contributor)
Explanation of association rule models (contributor)
Software created within master theses that I supervise or have supervised: action rule discovery in Python (ActionRules, RandomForestRules), Assocation rule classification in Python (pyARC), Interpretable Decision Sets in Python (pyIDS).

Other contributions
I serve as a program co-chair of RuleML+RR 2020@DeclarativeAI (originally to be held in Oslo). The theme of the conference is Explainable algorithmic decision-making.
I serve or have served as a reviewer specializing on topics related to explainable machine learning at multiple artificial intelligence and semantic web conferences, such as AAAI, ECAI, IJCAI, ECML/PKDD, ISWC, ... (cf. academic service for a list) .
