- Abstract: Evaluating generative AI (GenAI) systems is challenging because many targets of evaluation are broad, contested concepts, such as "reasoning," "fairness," or "creativity." When these concepts are left underspecified, it becomes unclear what should be measured or how evaluation results should be interpreted. This problem reflects a missing step: systematization, that is, moving from a broad background concept to an explicit, structured account of the concept in measurable terms. To help address the fact that systematization is cognitively demanding and resource-intensive, we investigate whether AI assistance can support this process. To enable AI-assisted systematization and assess its quality, we introduce a structured representation of a systematized concept, a concept spec, and a validation worksheet. We then develop two AI-assisted systematizers: a direct, zero-shot approach and a multi-agent approach that more closely mirrors manual systematization approaches from existing literature. We use these systematizers to produce concept specs for two concepts -- hate-based rhetoric and digital empathy -- and evaluate resulting concept specs on content validity and information recoverability.

The emphasis of XAI research appears to have turned to a more pragmatic explanation approach for better understanding.
An extensive area where cognitive science research may substantially influence XAI advancements is evaluating user knowledge and feedback.
We propose a framework to experiment with generating and evaluating the explanations on the grounds of different cognitive levels of understanding.

Reuse is a common system architecture approach that seeks to instantiate a system architecture with existing components.
There is currently no framework that guides the selection of necessary information to assess their portability to operate in a system different than the one for which the component was originally purposed.
We present ongoing work on establishing an interface description template that captures the main information of an AI-enabled component.
