A Formalism-Aware Reward Loop for Handwritten UML-to-PlantUML Generation

Mersedeh Sadeghi, Simon Scholz, Adrian Psoch-Bajraktari

Handwritten UML sketches are common in early software design, but turning them into structured, analysable modelling artefacts still requires manual reconstruction. Vision-language…

V-SHiNE: A Virtual Smart Home Framework for Explainability Evaluation

Mersedeh Sadeghi, Simon Scholz, Max Unterbusch +1

Explanations are essential for helping users interpret and trust autonomous smart-home decisions, yet evaluating their quality and impact remains methodologically difficult in this…

From Facts to Foils: Designing and Evaluating Counterfactual Explanations for Smart Environments

Anna Trapp, Mersedeh Sadeghi, Andreas Vogelsang

Explainability is increasingly seen as an essential feature of rule-based smart environments. While counterfactual explanations, which describe what could have been done differentl…

Generating Context-Aware Contrastive Explanations in Rule-based Systems

Lars Herbold, Mersedeh Sadeghi, Andreas Vogelsang

Human explanations are often contrastive, meaning that they do not answer the indeterminate "Why?" question, but instead "Why P, rather than Q?". Automatically generating contrasti…

Explanation Needs in App Reviews: Taxonomy and Automated Detection

Max Unterbusch, Mersedeh Sadeghi, Jannik Fischbach +2

Explainability, i.e. the ability of a system to explain its behavior to users, has become an important quality of software-intensive systems. Recent work has focused on methods for…

Cases for Explainable Software Systems:Characteristics and Examples

Mersedeh Sadeghi, Verena Klös, Andreas Vogelsang

The need for systems to explain behavior to users has become more evident with the rise of complex technology like machine learning or self-adaptation. In general, the need for an…
