Virgil: Navigating Explainability for Transformer-based Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Explainability Assistant: A Conversational XAI Interface for Interpreting Energy Consumption Models

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.
