Sumario:My PhD research advances Explainable AI (XAI) for Bayesian Networks (BNs) by improving their construction, inference explanation, and user trust. I conducted the first systematic review of BN reusability, revealing major gaps in reusability. To address structure learning, I developed CausalGraphBench, a benchmark evaluating Large Language Models-driven BN construction. For inference explanation, I introduced the Factor Argument framework, which enhances natural language explanations and was validated in the medical domain. Finally, in a case study, I applied LLM-driven BN construction, generated explanations for real users, and collected feedback.
