Virgil is an interactive system designed to help practitioners and researchers navigate the growing but fragmented ecosystem of explainability tools for transformer-based language models. It provides a unified interface backed by a curated knowledge base, allowing users—including non-experts—to discover and compare different explainability tools. The tool aims to simplify access to these resources as transformer models are increasingly deployed in high‑stakes applications.

The paper introduces the Explainability Assistant, an open‑source conversational XAI system designed to interpret complex energy consumption forecasting models. By leveraging large language model function‑calling, it achieves 94% intent‑parsing accuracy and supports flexible natural‑language interaction across different ML problem types without task‑specific fine‑tuning. A comparative evaluation with energy domain specialists shows improved usability and consistent task accuracy, with all experts preferring the conversational interface over a traditional XAI dashboard.
arXiv:2607. 14315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for assessing the explainability of various XAI methods, such as LIME and SHAP, across multiple datasets and machine learning models, with the ultimate goal of creating a unified multidimensional explainability score.
MURANO is an open‑source framework that enables researchers to design, run, and reproduce mechanistic interpretability experiments on large language models. It unifies the five key stages—loading, recording, attribution, intervention, and evaluation—into composable pipeline steps that exchange named artifacts and use canonical addresses for interoperability. The authors demonstrate the framework with reproductions of existing studies and a sparse autoencoder case study, showing its practical applicability across disciplines.
As artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models become integral to network operations, their lack of transparency poses a significant barrier to operator trust. Existing explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques often fail to bridge this gap for non-specialists, producing technical outputs that are difficult to translate into actionable insights.

arXiv:2606. 19735v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While global explanations are crucial for understanding vision models across datasets, classes, and decision contexts, their complex and monolithic nature often hinders practical exploration.
arXiv:2607. 01235v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding how Large Language Models (LLMs) make token-level decisions during code generation remains a major challenge for both researchers and practitioners.
