AI policies transformed into readable Prolog programs for enhanced explainability

Researchers have developed a novel three-stage process to transform deep reinforcement learning policies into executable Prolog programs. This method aims to make complex AI models more interpretable by converting their 'black box' nature into readable and editable logic. The system guarantees monotonic improvement and termination, with empirical results showing the Prolog programs can match or even exceed the performance of the original neural networks on various tasks, including continuous control scenarios. AI

IMPACT Enhances AI model interpretability, potentially enabling easier debugging and modification of reinforcement learning agents.

    From Black Box to Executable Logic: Explainable Reinforcement Learning through Prolog Expert Systems

    arXiv:2607.15459v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A trained deep reinforcement learning policy is a black box, and we ask whether it can be made explainable by rewriting it as an executable logic program that reproduces its behaviour and that a person can read, a logic engine can r…
