Abstract

Our concern is the explanation generation in a representation based on contextual categorization. We point out that the explicit consideration of the context is necessary for the generation of relevant explanations. We present how the model captures the context necessary for explanation and we report some results compatible with the hypothesis that explanation is based on categorical networks according to a model based on the Galois lattice.
