AI systems' ability to explain their reasoning is critical to their utility and trustworthiness. Deep neural networks have enabled significant progress on many challenging problems such as visual question answering (VQA). However, most of them are opaque black boxes with limited explanatory capability. This paper presents a novel approach to developing a high-performing VQA system that can elucidate its answers with integrated textual and visual explanations that faithfully reflect important aspects of its underlying reasoning while capturing the style of comprehensible human explanations. Extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates the advantages of this approach compared to competing methods with both automatic evaluation metrics and human evaluation metrics.

  1. On Explaining Visual Captioning with Hybrid Markov Logic Networks

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A hybrid Markov logic network selects training examples that plausibly biased a captioning model's output for a test image, and user studies rate those selections as interpretable.

  2. On the Risk of Misleading Reports: Diagnosing Textual Biases in Multimodal Clinical AI

    cs.CV 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A new perturbation test shows that medical vision-language models rely more on clinical text than on images, with calibration errors growing when text conflicts with the image.
