• Title: ASQ-IT: Interactive Explanations for Reinforcement-Learning Agents
• Authors: Yotam Amitai, Guy Avni and Ofra Amir
• Abstract summary: We present ASQ-IT -- an interactive tool that presents video clips of the agent acting in its environment based on queries given by the user that describe temporal properties of behaviors of interest. Our approach is based on formal methods: queries in ASQ-IT's user interface map to a fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over finite traces (LTLf), which we developed, and our algorithm for query processing is based on automata theory.

• Abstract: As reinforcement learning methods increasingly amass accomplishments, the need for comprehending their solutions becomes more crucial. Most explainable reinforcement learning (XRL) methods generate a static explanation depicting their developers' intuition of what should be explained and how. In contrast, literature from the social sciences proposes that meaningful explanations are structured as a dialog between the explainer and the explainee, suggesting a more active role for the user and her communication with the agent. In this paper, we present ASQ-IT -- an interactive tool that presents video clips of the agent acting in its environment based on queries given by the user that describe temporal properties of behaviors of interest. Our approach is based on formal methods: queries in ASQ-IT's user interface map to a fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over finite traces (LTLf), which we developed, and our algorithm for query processing is based on automata theory. User studies show that end-users can understand and formulate queries in ASQ-IT, and that using ASQ-IT assists users in identifying faulty agent behaviors.

  Interpretability tools that offer explanations in the form of a dialogue have demonstrated their efficacy in enhancing users' understanding. Current solutions for dialogue-based explanations, however, often require external tools and modules and are not easily transferable to tasks they were not designed for. We present an easily accessible tool that allows users to chat with any state-of-the-art large language model (LLM) about its behavior.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities in language understanding and can be used to solve this task. Existing methods bypass this challenge by initially employing LLMs to generate drafts of logic forms without schema-specific details. We propose a simple In-Context Understanding (ICSU) method that enables LLMs to directly understand schemas by leveraging in-context learning.
