"abstract": "In the era of Big Knowledge Graphs, Question Answering (QA) systems have reached a milestone in their performance and feasibility. However, their applicability, particularly in specific domains such as the biomedical domain, has not gained wide acceptance due to their \"black box\" nature, which hinders transparency, fairness, and accountability of QA systems. Therefore, users are unable to understand how and why particular questions have been answered, whereas some others fail. To address this challenge, in this paper, we develop an automatic approach for generating explanations during various stages of a pipeline-based QA system. Our approach is a supervised and automatic approach which considers three classes (i.e., success, no answer, and wrong answer) for annotating the output of involved QA components. Upon our prediction, a template explanation is chosen and integrated into the output of the corresponding component. To measure the effectiveness of the approach, we conducted a user survey as to how non-expert users perceive our generated explanations. The results of our study show a significant increase in the four dimensions of the human factor from the Human-computer interaction community.",

"text": "The recent advances of Question Answering (QA) technologies mostly rely on (i) the advantages of Big Knowledge Graphs which augment the semantics, structure, and accessibility of data, e.g., Web of Data has published around 150B triples from a variety of domains1, and (ii) the competency of contemporary AI approaches which train sophisticated learning models (statistical models (Shekarpour et al., 2015 (Shekarpour et al., , 2013 , neural networks (Lukovnikov et al., 2017) , and attention models (Liu, 2019) ) on a large size of training data, and given a variety of 1http://lodstats.aksw.org/ novel features captured from semantics, structure, and context of the background data. However, similar to other branches of AI applications, the state of the art of QA systems are \"black boxes\" that fail to provide transparent explanations about why a particular answer is generated. This black box behavior diminishes the confidence and trust of the user and hinders the reliance and acceptance of the black-box systems, especially in critical domains such as healthcare, biomedical, life-science, and self-driving cars (Samek et al., 2017; Miller, 2018) . The running hypothesis in this paper is that the lack of explanation for answers provided by QA systems diminishes the trust and acceptance of the user towards these systems. Therefore, by implementing more transparent, interpretable, or explainable QA systems, the end users will be better equipped to justify and therefore trust the output of QA systems (Li et al., 2018) .",

"text": "Furthermore, data quality is a critical factor that highly affects the performance of QA systems. In other words, when the background data is flawed or outdated, it undermines the humanlikeness and acceptance of the QA systems if no explanation is provided, especially for non-expert users. For example, the SINA engine (Shekarpour et al., 2015 ) failed to answer the simple question \"What is the population of Canada?\" on the DBpedia (Auer et al., 2007) version 2013, whereas it succeeded for similar questions such as \"What is the population of Germany?\". The error analysis showed that the expected triple i.e., <dbr2:Canada dbo3:population \"xxx\"> is missing from DBpedia 2013. Thus, if the QA system does not provide any explanation about such failures, then the non-expert user concludes the QA system into the demerit points. Thus, in general, the errors or failures of the QA systems might be caused by the inadequacies of the underlying data or misunderstanding, misinterpretation, or miscomputation of the employed computational models. In either case, the black-box QA system does not provide any explanations regarding the sources of the error. Often the research community obsesses with the technical discussion of QA systems and competes on enhancing the performance of the QA systems, whereas, on the downside of the QA systems, there is a human who plays a vital role in the acceptance of the system. The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community already targeted various aspects of the human-centered design and evaluation challenges of black-box systems. However, the QA systems over KGs received the least attention comparing to other AI applications such as recommender systems (Herlocker et al., 2000; Kouki et al., 2017) .",

"text": "Plethora of QA systems over knowledge graphs developed in the last decade (H\u00f6ffner et al., 2017) . These QA systems are evaluated on various benchmarking datasets including WebQuestions (Berant et al., 2013) , QALD , LC-QuAD (Trivedi et al., 2017) , and report results based on global metrics of precision, recall, and F-score. In many cases, QA approaches over KGs even surpass the human level performance (Petrochuk and Zettlemoyer, 2018) . Irrespective of the underlying technology and algorithms, these QA systems act as black box and do not provide any explanation to the user regarding 1) why a particular answer is generated and 2) how the given answer is extracted from the knowledge source. The recent works towards explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) gained momentum because several AI applications find limited acceptance due to ethical reasons (Angwin et al., 2016) and a lack of trust on behalf of their users (Stubbs et al., 2007) . The same rationale is also applicable to the blackbox QA systems. Research studies showed that representing adequate explanations to the answer brings acceptability and confidence to the user as observed in various domains such as recommender systems and visual question answering (Herlocker et al., 2000; Hayes and Shah, 2017; Hendricks et al., 2016; Wu and Mooney, 2018) . In this paper, we argue that having explanations increases the trustworthiness, transparency, and acceptance of the answers of the QA system over KGs. Especially, when the QA systems fail to answer a question or provide a wrong answer, the explanatory output helps to keep the user informed about a particular behavior. Hence, we propose a template-based explanation generation approach for QA systems. Our proposed approach for explainable QA system over KG provides (i) adequate justification: thus the end user feels that they are aware of the reasoning steps of the computational model, (ii) confidence: the user can trust the system and has the willing for the continuation of interactions, (iii) understandability: educates the user as how the system infers or what are the causes of failures and unexpected answers, and (iv) user involvement: encourages the user to engage in the process of QA such as question rewriting.",

"text": "Researchers have tackled the problem of question answering in various domains including open domain question answering (Yang et al., 2019) , biomedical (Bhandwaldar and Zadrozny, 2018) , geospatial , and temporal (Jia et al., 2018) . Question answering over publicly available KGs is a long-standing field with over 62 QA sys-tems developed since 2010 (H\u00f6ffner et al., 2017) . The implementation of various QA systems can be broadly categorized into three approaches (Singh, 2019; Diefenbach et al., 2018) . The first is a semantic parsing based approach such as (Usbeck et al., 2015) that implements a QA system using several linguistic analyses (e.g., POS tagging, dependency parsing) and linked data technologies. The second approach is an end-to-end machine learning based, which uses a large amount of training data to map an input question to its answer directly (e.g., in (Yang et al., 2019; Lukovnikov et al., 2017) ). The third approach is based on modular frameworks (Kim et al., 2017; Singh et al., 2018b) which aims at reusing individual modules of QA systems, independent tools (such as entity linking, predicate linking) in building QA systems collaboratively. Irrespective of the implementation approach, domain, and the underlying knowledge source (KG, documents, relational tables, etc.), the majority of existing QA systems act as a black box. The reason behind black box behavior is due to either the monolithic tightly coupled modules such as in semantic parsing based QA systems or nested and nonlinear structure of machine learning based algorithms employed in QA systems. The modular framework, on the other hand, provides flexibility to track individual stages of the answer generation process. The rationale behind our choice of the modular framework over monolithic QA systems is a flexible architecture design of such frameworks. It allows us to trace failure at each stage of the QA pipeline. We enrich the output of each step with adequate justification with supporting natural language explanation for the user. Hence, as the first step towards explainable QA over knowledge graphs, we propose an automatic approach for generating a description for each stage of a QA pipeline in a state-of-theart modular framework (in our case: Frankenstein (Singh et al., 2018b) ). We are not aware of any work in the direction of explainable question answering over knowledge graphs and we make the first attempt in this paper. Although, efforts have been made to explain visual question answering systems. Some works generate textual explanations for VQA by training a recurrent neural network (RNN) to mimic examples of human descriptions (Hendricks et al., 2016; Wu and Mooney, 2018) directly. The work by can be considered a closest attempt to our work. The authors proposed a template based approach to translate SPARQL queries into natural language verbalization. We employ a similar template-based approach to generate an automatic explanation for QA pipelines.",

"text": "One of the implementation approaches for answering questions from interlinked knowledge graphs is typically a multi-stage process which is called QA pipeline (Singh et al., 2018b) . Each stage of the pipeline deals with a required task such as Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Disambiguation (NED) (referred as Entity Linking (EL)), Relation extraction and Linking (RL), and Query Building (QB). There is an abundance of components performing QA tasks (Diefenbach et al., 2018) . These implementations run on the KGs and have been developed based on AI, NLP, and Semantic Technologies, which accomplish one or more tasks of a QA pipeline (H\u00f6ffner et al., 2017) . implemented by RNLIWOD4 and SPARQL query builder by NLIWOD QB5). For example, given the question \"Did Tesla win a nobel prize in physics?\", the ideal NED component is expected to recognize the keyword \"Tesla\" as a named entity and map it to the corresponding DBpedia resource, i.e. dbr:Nikola_Tesla. Similarly, the multi-word unit \"nobel prize in physics\" has to be linked to dbr:Nobel_Prize_in_Physics. Thereafter, a component performing RL finds embedded relations in the given question and links them to appropriate relations of the underlying knowledge graph. In our example, the keyword \"win\" is mapped to the relation dbo:award. Finally, the QB component generates a formal query (e.g. expressed in SPARQL) (i.e.",

In our proposed model, the class of the output of each integrated component is predicted using a supervised learning approach. We train a classifier per component within the pipeline. Then based on the prediction of the classifier, an explanation template is chosen. The explanation template and the output of the component are incorporated to form the final representation of explanations. We have a repository of explanation templates for each component of the QA pipeline system. For example, the NED component corresponds to several explanation templates differing based on the number of the output entities. Precisely, the explanation template when the NED has one single entity is different from when it has two or three. Moreover, the templates vary based on the Part of Speach (POS) tag of the entities recognized in the input question. For example, Figure 1 shows a pipeline containing three components: 1) NED component: TagMe, 2) RL component: RNLIWOD QB, and 3) QB component: NLIWOD QB. Three classifiers were individually trained for each component. In this example, for the given question \"Did Tesla win a nobel prize in physics?\" the classifiers predicted the class of \"Success\" for NED and the class \"No Answer\" for RL and QB components. Thus, the explanation templates corresponding to the class of \"success\" for NED, and \"No Answer\" for RL and QB are filtered. Then since the NED component has two outputs, therefore, two explanations were generated for NED, whereas the remaining components show one explanation.",

"text": "Solution Suppose we are given a set of NL questions Q with the detailed results of performance for each component per task. We can then model the prediction goal Pr(\u03c1(C j ) q, t i ) as a supervised learning problem on a training set, i.e. a set of questions Q and a set of labels L representing the performance of C j for a question q and a task t i . In other words, for each individual task t i and component C j , the purpose is to train a supervised model that predicts the performance of the given component C j for a given question q and task t i leveraging the training set. If T = n and each task is performed by m components, and the QA pipeline integrates all the n \u00d7 m components, then n \u00d7 m individual learning models have to be built up. Question Features. Since the input question q has a textual representation, it is necessary to automatically extract suitable features, i.e. F(q) = ( f 1 , . . . , f r ). In order to obtain an abstract and concrete representation of NL questions, we reused question features proposed by (Singh et al., 2018b which impact the performance of the QA systems. These features are: question length, answer type (list, number, boolean), Wh-word (who,what,which,etc.) , and POS tags present in a question. Please note, our contribution is not the underlying Frankenstein framework, we reused it for the completion of the approach. Our contribution is to add valid explanation to each step of the QA pipeline, and empirical study to support our hypothesis. Figure 2 shows the architecture of our approach. Initially, a pipeline for a QA system is built up; in our case we used Frankenstein platform (Singh et al., 2018b,a) to facilitate building up a pipeline. Please note, we do not aim to build a new QA system and reused an existing implementation. We extend the Frankenstein QA pipeline as illustrated in Figure 2 . We rely on the best performing pipeline reported in (Singh et al., 2018b) over LC-QuAD dataset (Trivedi et al., 2017) . In addition, we manually populated a repository of explanation templates. For example, all the required explanation templates for NED components are created for cases such as templates for wrong answers, when components produce no answer, and in the case of correct answers. Similarly, the templates for other tasks such as RE an QB were handcrafted. Please note that these templates are generic, thereby they do not depend on the employed component. For example, if we integrate another NED component rather than TagMe, there is no need to update the template repositories. In the next step, we trained classifiers based on the settings which will be presented in the next section. Thus, when a new question arrives at the pipeline, in addition to running the pipeline to exploit the answer, our trained classifiers are also executed. Then the predictions of the classifiers lead us to choose appropriate templates from the repositories. The filtered templates incorporate the output of the components to produce salient representations for NL explanations. The flow of the explanations is represented to the end user besides the final answer.",

"text": "This experiment is concerned with the question \"How effective is our approach for generating explanations?\". We measure the effectiveness in terms of the preciseness of the explanations. Regarding the architecture of our approach, choosing the right explanation template depends on the prediction of the classifiers. If classifiers precisely predict a correct output for the underlying components, then consequently, the right templates will be chosen. In other words, any flaw in the prediction leads to a wrong template. Thus, here we present the accuracy of our classifiers per component. We consider three generic classes, namely O c = {Success, NoAnswer,Wrong Answer} (cf. section 4) for the outputs of individual components. A benchmarking approach has been followed to choose best classifier per task. We employ five different classifiers (SVM, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gaussian NB, and Decision Tree) and calculated each classifier's accuracy per component. To train the classifiers per component, we require to create a single dataset. The sample-set in training is formed by considering questions of the LC-QuAD dataset. To get the concrete representation of each question, we extracted the following features: question length, headword (who, what, how) , answer types (boolean, number, list), and POS tags. If a particular feature is present, we consider the value 1; if not, then the value of that feature is 0 while representing the question. The label set of the training datasets for a given component was set up by measuring the micro F-Score of every given question for 3,253 questions from the LC-QuAD dataset. The F-score per question is calculated by adopting the same methodology proposed by (Singh et al., 2018b) . We rely on 3,253 questions out of 5,000 questions of the LC-QuAD dataset because the gold standard SPARQL queries of the remaining 1,747 questions do not return any answer from DBpedia endpoint (also reported by (Azmy et al., 2018) ). The classifier predicts if a component can answer the question or not, and trained using features extracted from the natural language questions against the F score per question. During the training phase, each classifier was tuned with a range of regularization on the dataset. We used the cross-validation approach with 10 folds on the LC-QuAD dataset. We employ a QA pipeline containing TagMe (Ferragina and Scaiella, 2010) for entity disambiguation, RNLIWOD6 for relation linking, and NLIWOD QB7 for SPARQL query builder. Figure 3 reports the accuracy of five classifiers (average of all classes). Furthermore, Table 2 reports the accuracy of the best classifier (Logistic Regression in our case) for each component. Observations. We observe that the logistic regression classifier performs best for predicting the output of components. However, the accuracy of the classifier is low as depicted in the Table 2 . (Singh et al., 2018b) report accuracy of binary classifiers for TagMe, RNLIWOD, and NLIWOD QB as 0.75, 0.72, and 0.65 respectively. When we train multi-class classifiers (i.e., three classes) on the same dataset, we observe a drop in the accuracy. The main reason for the low performance of the classifiers is the low component accuracy (c.f.

"text": "In the second experiment, we pursue the following research question: \"How is the perception of end user about explanations along the human factor dimensions?\" To respond to this question, we conduct the following experiment: Experimental Setup: We perform a user study to evaluate how the explanations impact user perception. We aim at understanding user's feedback on the following four parameters inspired by Ehsan and ark Riedl, 2019) : 1) Adequate Justification: Does a user feel the answer to a particular question is justified or provided with the reasoning behind inferences of the answer? 2) Education: Does the user feel educated about the answer generation process so that she may better understand the strengths and limitations of the QA system? 3) User involvement: Does the user feel involved in allowing the user to add her knowledge and inference skills to the complete decision process? 4) Acceptance: Do explanations lead to a greater acceptance of the QA system in future interactions? With respect to the above criteria, we created an online survey to collect user feedback. The survey embraces random ten questions from our underlying dataset from a variety of answer types such as questions with the correct answer, incorrect answer, no answer (for which classifiers predict correct templates). The first part of the survey displays the questions to the user without any explanation. In the second part, the same ten questions, coupled with the explanations generated by our approach, are displayed to the user. The participants of the survey are asked to rate each representation of question/answer based on the four human factor dimensions (i.e., acceptance, justification, user involvement, and education). The rating scale is based on the Likert scale, which allows the participants to express how much they agree or disagree with a given statement (1:strongly disagree -5:strongly agree). We circulated the survey to several channels of the co-authors' network, such as a graduate class of Semantic Web course, research groups in the USA and Europe, along with scientific mailing lists. Collectively we received responses from 80 participants. Please note, the number of participants is at par with the other explainable studies such as .",

"text": "Results and Insights. Figure 4 summarizes the ratings of our user study. We evaluate the user responses based on the four human factor dimen-sions: Adequate Justification, Education, User involvement, and Acceptance. The summary of ratings for each dimension was captured in one individual chart. The green bars show the feedback over questions with provided explanations, and on the contrary, red bars are aggregated over the question with no explanation. The x-axis shows the Likert scale. The Y-axis is the distribution of users over the Likert scale for each class independentlywith explanation and without explanation. Overall it shows a positive trend towards the agreement with the following facts; the provided explanations helped users to understand the underlying process better, justify a particular answer, involve the user in the complete process, and increase the acceptability of the answers. The green bars are larger in positive ratings, such as strongly agree. Figure 4 : User perception Evaluation. The figure illustrates the comparative analysis of providing with and without explanation to the user. We consider the mean of all the responses. X-axis depicts the Likert scale (1 is strongly disagree, 5 is strongly agree). A clear trend in user responses shows that across all four parameters, there are many answers towards disagreement or neutral when no explanation is provided. In the case of explanation, users feel involved, and responses are shifted towards the agreement. Furthermore, users show more trust in the acceptance of the answer when provided with an explanation.",

"text": "In this paper, we focus on the challenge of explainable QA systems. We mainly target systems that consume data from the KGs. These systems receive a natural language question and then transform that to a formal query. Our primary aim is to take the initial steps to break down the full black-box QA systems. Thus, we reuse an existing QA pipeline systems since it already decompose the prominent tasks of the QA systems and then integrate individual implementations for each QA task. We based our approach and associated evaluation on the hypothesis that every component integrated into the pipeline should explain the output. It will educate and involve non-expert users and trigger them to trust and accept the system. Our findings in Section 5 support our hypothesis both on quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The limitation of our approach is that it heavily relies on the performance of the components. In the case of having low performing components, the accuracy of the classifiers is also downgraded. Although, on the one hand, this approach is shallow, one the other hand it avoids exposing the user to overwhelming details of the internal functionalities by showing succinct and user-friendly explanations. (Hoffman et al., 2017) noted that for improving the usability of XAI systems, it is essential to combine theories from social science and cognitive decision making to validate the intuition of what constitutes a \"good explanation.\" Our work in this paper is limited to predefined template based explanations, and does not consider this aspect. Also, our work does not focus on the explainability of the behavior of the employed classifier, and the explanations only justify the final output of components.",

"text": "In this paper, we proposed an approach that is automatic and supervised for generating explanations for a QA pipeline. Albeit simple, our approach intuitively expressive for the end user. This approach requires to train a classifier for every integrated component, which is costly in case the components are updated (new release) or replaced by a latest outperforming component. Our proposed approach induced in a QA pipeline of a modular framework is the first attempt for explainable QA systems over KGs. It paves the way for future contributions in developing explainable QA systems over KGs. Still, there are numerous rooms in this area that require the attention of the research communityfor example, explanations regarding the quality of data, or metadata, or credibility of data publishers. Furthermore, recent attempts have been made to provide explanations of machine learning models (Guo et al., 2018) . However, the inclusion of the explanations in neural approaches for question answering (such as in (Lukovnikov et al., 2017)) is still an open research question, and we plan to extend our work in this direction. The concerning domain of the system is also influential in explanations. for example, biomedical or marketing domains require various levels of details of explanations. In general, all of these concerns affect the acceptance and trust of the QA system by the end user. Our ambitious vision is to provide personalized and contextualized explanations, where the user feels more involved and educated.",
