Counterfactual Explanations for Natural Language Interfaces (2022.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Semantic parsing is a promising technique for enabling natural language interfaces, but human language can encode concepts that do not exist in the underlying system or are encoded using different language. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel approach for generating explanations of a natural language interface based on semantic parsing by providing a user with an utterance and a demonstration of their desired goal. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach significantly improves user performance and generates explanations that more closely match the user’s intent compared to two ablations. |
