Abstract in brief

KnowledgeVIS is a visual analytics tool designed to help researchers understand how large language models (like AI that generates text) work by comparing their responses to fill-in-the-blank prompts.
It uses interactive visualizations and a unique semantic clustering technique to analyze and compare predictions from different prompts, revealing insights about what the models have learned and how they relate to natural language tasks.
The system was tested with NLP experts on various use cases, including probing biomedical knowledge, evaluating stereotypes, and discovering facts across different models.
