Explanation Interfaces in Intelligent Interactive SystemsOne challenge with interfaces that adapt their appearance or behaviour to individual user characteristics is a lack of transparency in their underlying reasoning mechanisms. Since a transparency can lead to users having difficulty trusting and/or predicting system behaviour, this project explores the role of explanations in helping to mitigate these problems. Our studies to date have found that the utility of explanations depends highly on the context and the individual user.Project PublicationsAre Explanations Always Important?
