During the keynote presentation, Jenssen outlined basic principles for neural multimodal learning (MML), described aspects of explainable AI in the context of MML, and presented ideas for developing self-explaining MML by learned masks for classification purposes. The keynote's title was "Aspects of XAI in Neural Multimodal Learning".

Later that day, Jenssen partook in a panel discussion on AI as critical national infrastructure—with panelists Lilja Øvrelid, Svein Arne Brygfjeld, Hans Eide, and Michael Alexander Riegler. The session was moderated by NORA CEO, Klas Pettersen.

Thanks to NORA – The Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium for inviting us to this year's conference in Halden.
