  • EXPLANATION OF SYSTEM DETERMINATION
    Publication number: 20260155148
    Abstract: Techniques for generating and outputting a natural language explanation of a determination made by a system are described. The system presents content to a user, where the content is generated based on a system determination. The system determines history data associated with a user profile associated with the user and context data associated with the system determination. The system uses the history data and the context data to determine a natural language explanation that the output was generated based on the system determination. The system further uses the history data and the context data to generate a predicted system determination representing the system determination that resulted in the output presented to the user. Based on a similarity between the predicted system determination and the actual system determination, the natural language explanation is presented to the user.
