The proposed contrastive explanation method provides insights into why large language models (LLMs) generate specific responses to given prompts by analyzing how these models would respond if the prompt were slightly modified. The approach uses a scoring function that is meaningful to users, rather than requiring a class label. A novel budgeted algorithm intelligently creates contrasts based on this scoring function while adhering to a query budget necessary for longer contexts. The method is shown to be effective in important natural language tasks such as open-text generation and chatbot conversations.

Large language models (LLMs) are super smart computers that can understand and respond to human language. They’re like super smart robots, but instead of moving around, they process text. One problem with these LLMs is that we don’t really know why they come up with certain responses to prompts. The authors of this paper came up with a new way to figure out why an LLM might give a specific response to a prompt. They do this by looking at how the model would respond if the prompt were slightly changed. This helps us understand what makes the model decide on a particular response. This method could be really useful for things like chatbots and generating text.
