Abstract

This paper gives a methodology, PROLOG code, as well as an example of an explanation facility EN applicable to most neural networks. It involves How?, Why? and TRACE facilities, and is based on a general explanation degree calculation in a multilayer neural network, as well as on input node characterization grammars for explanation text synthesis.
