Explaining for Contextualizing and Contextualizing for Explaining
Patrick Brézillon · 2009
Abstract. This paper proposes a view on the relationships between explanation and context. First, we install the background of our proposal. This background comprises two parts: the consideration of explanations in knowledge-based systems, and a preliminary observation of relationships between explanations and context. We comment briefly previous works on explanations in order to point out what is reusable. Second, we discuss a set of new types of explanation in a context-based formalism called contextual graphs. We begin by presenting the context-based formalism of representation and after an explanation typology that can be established, thanks to Contextual Graphs. 1
