We evaluate current explanation schemes. These are either insufficiently general, or suffer from other serious drawbacks. A domain-independent explanation theory, based on ignoring irrelevant variables in a probabilistic setting, is proposed. Independence-based maximum aposteriori probability (IB-MAP) explanations, an instance of irrelevance-based explanation, has several interesting properties, which provide for simple algorithms for computing such explanations. |
