As deep neural models in NLP become more complex, and as a consequence opaque, the necessity to interpret them becomes greater. A burgeoning interest has emerged in rationalizing explanations to provide short and coherent justifications for predictions. In this position paper, we advocate for a formal framework for key concepts and properties about rationalizing explanations to support their evaluation systematically. We also outline one such formal framework, tailored to rationalizing explanations of increasingly complex structures, from free-form explanations to deductive explanations, to argumentative explanations (with the richest structure). Focusing on the automated fact verification task, we provide illustrations of the use and usefulness of our formalization for evaluating explanations, tailored to their varying structures.

  1. Retrieval Augmented Decision-Making: A Requirements-Driven, Multi-Criteria Framework for Structured Decision Support

    cs.AI 2025-05 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    RAD automatically extracts weighted, hierarchical decision criteria from documents and uses LLMs to generate structured decision reports, but its evaluation is largely self-referential.

    cs.CL 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a benchmark of 17,856 PolitiFact claims, larger Llama-3 models and retrieved web evidence improve automated fact-checking accuracy and justification quality, though fine-grained labels remain difficult.
