Explanation in Human-AI Systems: A Literature Meta-Review, Synopsis of Key Ideas and Publications, and Bibliography for Explainable AI (2019, background): “Hypothesis: Explanation can be equated with abductive inference, that is, the empirical determination of a best possible explanation (Harman, 1965; Lombrozo, 2012, 2016: Wilkenfeld and Lombrozo, 2015).”
Explanation in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Social Sciences (2017, background): “Lombrozo [107] argues that both dependence theories and transference theories are at least psychologically real, even if only one (or neither) is the true theory.”
Interpretable R-CNN (2017, background): “Lombrozo and Vasilyeva [51] proposed that explanation and causation are intimately related in the sense that explanations often appeal to causes, and causal claims are often answers to implicit or explicit questions about why or how something occurred.”
Expanding Explainability: Towards Social Transparency in AI systems (2021, background): “On one hand, explanations (as a construct) are socially situated [64, 65, 70, 105].”
