提出解析自动驾驶语言解释的三层框架,助力提升系统透明度与用户信任。
X-Blocks: Linguistic Building Blocks of Natural Language Explanations for Automated Vehicles
- 构建上下文、语法、词汇三层分析框架X-Blocks,系统拆解驾驶解释的语言结构。
- 在伯克利数据集上分类准确率达91.45%,接近人工标注一致性(Cohen's kappa=0.91)。
- 发现解释依赖有限语法模板,且用词和因果表达随场景动态变化,适合安全关键领域应用。
自然语言解释在建立人们对自动驾驶汽车(AV)的信任中起着关键作用,但现有方法缺乏对人类在多样场景下构建驾驶理由的语言结构进行系统分析的框架。本文提出X-Blocks(eXplanation Blocks),一个分层分析框架,从三个层次识别自动驾驶语言解释的语义构件:上下文、语法和词汇。在上下文层面,提出RACE(Reasoning-Aligned Classification of Explanations)——一种结合链式思维与自洽机制的多大模型集成框架,可将解释分类为32类情境感知类别。在伯克利深度驱动-X数据集上,RACE达到91.45%的准确率和Cohen's kappa=0.91,表现出接近人工标注的一致性。在词汇层面,采用带信息狄利克雷先验的对数似然比分析,揭示了情境特异性的词汇模式。在语法层面,通过依存句法分析与模板提取发现,解释使用有限的可复用语法家族,且谓词类型与因果结构在不同情境中呈现系统性差异。X-Blocks框架具备数据集无关性和任务独立性,适用于其他自动驾驶数据集及高风险领域。研究结果为生成情境感知解释提供了基于证据的语言设计原则,有助于提升自动化驾驶系统的透明度、用户信任与认知可及性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Natural language explanations play a critical role in establishing trust and acceptance of automated vehicles (AVs), yet existing approaches lack systematic frameworks for analysing how humans linguistically construct driving rationales across diverse scenarios. This paper introduces X-Blocks (eXplanation Blocks), a hierarchical analytical framework that identifies the linguistic building blocks of natural language explanations for AVs at three levels: context, syntax, and lexicon. At the context level, we propose RACE (Reasoning-Aligned Classification of Explanations), a multi-LLM ensemble framework that combines Chain-of-Thought reasoning with self-consistency mechanisms to robustly classify explanations into 32 scenario-aware categories. Applied to human-authored explanations from the Berkeley DeepDrive-X dataset, RACE achieves 91.45 percent accuracy and a Cohens kappa of 0.91 against cases with human annotator agreement, indicating near-human reliability for context classification. At the lexical level, log-odds analysis with informative Dirichlet priors reveals context-specific vocabulary patterns that distinguish driving scenarios. At the syntactic level, dependency parsing and template extraction show that explanations draw from a limited repertoire of reusable grammar families, with systematic variation in predicate types and causal constructions across contexts. The X-Blocks framework is dataset-agnostic and task-independent, offering broad applicability to other automated driving datasets and safety-critical domains. Overall, our findings provide evidence-based linguistic design principles for generating scenario-aware explanations that support transparency, user trust, and cognitive accessibility in automated driving systems.
