• Authors: Jieting Luo, Thomas Studer, Mehdi Dastani
• Abstract summary: We propose an approach for an explainer to communicate personalized explanations to an explainee through having consecutive conversations with the explainee. We prove that the conversation terminates due to the explainee's justification of the initial claim as long as there exists an explanation for the initial claim that the explainee understands and the explainer is aware of.

• Abstract: The increasing applications of AI systems require personalized explanations for their behaviors to various stakeholders since the stakeholders may have various knowledge and backgrounds. In general, a conversation between explainers and explainees not only allows explainers to obtain the explainees' background, but also allows explainees to better understand the explanations. In this paper, we propose an approach for an explainer to communicate personalized explanations to an explainee through having consecutive conversations with the explainee. We prove that the conversation terminates due to the explainee's justification of the initial claim as long as there exists an explanation for the initial claim that the explainee understands and the explainer is aware of.

  We study explanation dialogues in terms of the interactions between the explainer and explainee. We analyze the interaction flows, comparing them to those appearing in expert dialogues. We encode the interaction flows using two language models that can handle long inputs.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have become proficient in addressing complex tasks by leveraging their internal knowledge and reasoning capabilities. The black-box nature of these models complicates the task of explaining their decision-making processes. We introduce FaithLM to explain the decision of LLMs with natural language (NL) explanations.

  We investigate if free-form conversations can enhance users' comprehension of static explanations. We measure the effect of the conversation on participants' ability to choose from three machine learning models. Our findings highlight the importance of customized model explanations in the format of free-form conversations.

  Abductive reasoning aims to find plausible explanations for an event. Existing approaches for abductive reasoning in natural language processing often rely on manually generated annotations for supervision. This work proposes an approach for abductive commonsense reasoning that exploits the fact that only a subset of explanations is correct for a given context.

  We ask doctors, healthcare professionals, and policymakers about their needs and desires for explanations. Our study indicates that decision-makers would strongly prefer interactive explanations in the form of natural language dialogues. Considering these needs, we outline a set of five principles researchers should follow when designing interactive explanations.
