Abstract

Organisations face growing legal requirements and ethical responsibilities to ensure that decisions made by their intelligent systems are explainable. However, provisioning of an explanation is often application dependent, causing an extended design phase and delayed deployment. In this paper we present an explainability framework formed of a catalogue of explanation methods, allowing integration to a range of projects within a telecommunications organisation. These methods are split into low-level explanations, high-level explanations and co-created explanations. We motivate and evaluate this framework using the specific case-study of explaining the conclusions of field engineering experts to non-technical planning staff. Feedback from an iterative co-creation process and a qualitative evaluation is indicative that this is a valuable development tool for use in future company projects.
