A quotation from Archibald MacLeish

The one man who should never attempt an explanation of a poem is its author. If the poem can be improved by the author’s explanations it never should have been published, and if the poem cannot be improved by its author’s explanations the explanations are scarcely worth reading.

Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982) American poet, writer, statesman
Poems, “Author’s Note” (1938)

   LEELA: I know, I know, there’s no such thing as magic.
   THE DOCTOR: Exactly! To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable, only unexplained.

Today at ICSR25 - 17th International Conference on Social Robotics, I presented the paper "RAGGAE for HERBS: Testing the Explanatory Performance of Ontology-powered LLMs for Human Explanation of Robotic Behaviors" by Agnese Augello, Edoardo Datteri, Antonio Lieto, Maria Rausa and Nicola Zagni

#ICSR2025

Title: RAGGAE for HERBS: Testing the Explanatory Performance of Ontology-powered LLMs for Human Explanation of Robotic Behaviors
Abstract:
In this work we present and test a RAG-based model called RAGGAE (i.e. RAG for the General Analysis of Explanans) tested in the context of Human Explanation of Robotic BehaviorS (HERBS).
The RAGGAE model makes use of an ontology of explanations, enriching the knowledge of state of the art general purpose Large Language Models like Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, DeepSeek R1 and GPT-4o. The results show that the combination of a general LLM with a symbolic, and philosophically grounded, ontology can be a useful instrument to improve the investigation, identification and the analysis of the types of explanations that humans use to verbalize - and make sense of - the behavior of robotic agents.

A quotation from Asimov

People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be.

Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) Russian-American author, polymath, biochemist

A quotation from Douglas Adams

What I mean is that if you really want to understand something, the best way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your mind. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that’s really the essence of programming. By the time you’ve sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you’ve learned something about it yourself.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Dirk Gently, No. 1, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, ch. 4 [Richard] (1987)

In conversation with… Unpacking the “Why” Behind the Errors
Here we discuss the LLMs design and purpose in the context of interacting with and advising on health data, and demonstrate why the two may be at odds with one another:

LIME for ECG Time Series Dataset Example

LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) — популярный модет в решении задачи интерпретации. Он основан на простой идее — приблизить прогнозы сложного оценщика (например, нейронной сети) простым — обычно линейной/логистической регрессией. Применить LIME можно из коробки при помощи одноименной библиотеки [ lime ]. Однако, при применении LIME к, в частности, к временным рядам возникают особенности. Поэтому в чистом виде lime для TimeSeries не всегда легко применить. И в этом туториале мы сделаем приближенение метода самостотельно! :)
