AI explanations: Abstracting irrelevant details boosts understanding and reduces effort

A new research paper explores how abstracting irrelevant details in symbolic AI explanations can impact human understanding and cognitive effort. Experiments using Answer Set Programming demonstrated that clustering details significantly improved comprehension, while removing details reduced cognitive load. The findings suggest that formal abstractions can enhance human-centered symbolic explanations. AI

    The Dual Role of Abstracting over the Irrelevant in Symbolic Explanations: Cognitive Effort vs. Understanding

    arXiv:2602.03467v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Explanations are central to human cognition, yet AI systems often produce outputs that are difficult to understand. While symbolic AI offers a transparent foundation for interpretability, raw logical traces often impose a high e…
