AI summary

Methods and systems for interpreting outputs from inference models are disclosed. To establish a level of confidence in the outputs, ingest data utilized by the inference models to generate the outputs may be investigated. To efficiently investigate ingest data to identify portions of the ingest data that had a highest contribution to generation of the outputs, a first large language model (LLM) may ingest the output, the ingest data, and a set of queries to be answered by the first LLM. The first LLM may generate leading indicators and emerging trends for a portion of the outputs. The leading indicators, the emerging trends, and a set of question generation templates may be fed into a second LLM to generate one or more questions. The one or more questions may be usable to establish a level of confidence in the outputs.
