Explanation and interpretation generation system

A system for providing explanations and interpretations, the system comprising a processor and a memory on which is stored computer program code instructions, wherein the processor operates to provide:

• an explainable model configured to receive an input query and return a model output, wherein the model output comprises an answer and a model explanation;
• an explanation component configured to receive the model output to produce an explanation using an explanation scaffolding, the explanation scaffolding comprising a plurality of components including:
• an explanation model component, comprising the model output indicating the answer, the model explanation, and a model fusion and links component, wherein the model fusion and links component is configured to store metadata and information associated with one or more links between one or more systems and databases;
• a hypothetical and causal component, configured to model at least one cause-and-effect relationship by forming one or more structural equation models, structural causal models, and/or causal directed acyclic graphs;
• and
• a scenario, interaction, and presentation component;
• and
• a plurality of interpreters comprising a plurality of interpretation components, the plurality of interpretation components forming an interpretation scaffolding and configured to receive the answer, the model explanation, and the explanation scaffolding to produce an interpretation, the interpretation scaffolding comprising a plurality of interpreter beliefs components, wherein the interpretation scaffolding isolates each of the interpreter beliefs components from each of the other interpreter beliefs components;
• wherein receiving, on the explanation component, the model output using the explanation scaffolding comprises:
• receiving, on the explanation component, an explanation scaffolding data structure, the explanation scaffolding data structure comprising each of the plurality of components and defined linkages between the plurality of components;
• and
• deconstructing the explanation scaffolding data structure into an explanation.
