Requirements for Conceptual Representations of Explanations and How Reasoning Systems Can Serve Them
Helmut Horacek · 2017
Explanations of solutions produced by reasoning systems in ever growing complexity become increasingly interesting, which is particularly challenging in view of fundamental differences between human and machine representation and problem-solving methods.In this paper, we formulate requirements for conceptual representations that are adequate for producing human-oriented explanations, and we discuss how some reasoning mechanisms can serve them or can possibly be adapted to do so.This examination is intended to state in what ways reasoning systems can potentially support explanation generation, and where technology-justified limitations have to be accepted.
