Abstract [en]

Large Language Models (LLM) have experienced strong development in recent years, with varied applications. This paper uses LLMs to develop a post-hoc process that provides more elaborated explanations of the results of food recommendation systems. By combining LLM with a hybrid extraction of key variables using SHAP, we obtain dynamic, convincing and more comprehensive explanations to lay user, compared to those in the literature. This approach enhances user trust and transparency by making complex recommendation outcomes easier to understand for a lay user.
