- Interpretable machine learning aims to provide transparent models whose decision-making processes can be readily understood by humans. Recent advances in rule-based approaches, such as expressive Boolean formulas (BoolXAI), offer faithful and compact representations of model behavior. However, for non-technical stakeholders, main challenges remain in practice: (i) selecting semantically meaningful features and (ii) translating formal logical rules into accessible explanations. In this work, we propose BoolXLLM , as a hybrid framework that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) into the end-to-end pipeline of Boolean rule learning. We augment BoolXAI , an expressive Boolean rule-based classifier, with LLMs at three critical stages: (1) feature selection, where LLMs guide the identification of domain-relevant variables; (2) threshold recommendation, where LLMs propose semantically meaningful discretization strategies for numerical features; and (3) rule compression and interpretation, where Boolean rules are translated into natural language explanations at both global and local levels. This integration bridges formal, faithful explanations with human-understandable narratives. This allows build an explainable AI system that is both theoretically grounded and accessible to non-experts. Early empirical results demonstrate that LLM-assisted pipelines improve interpretability while maintaining competitive predictive performance. Our work highlights the promise of combining symbolic reasoning with language-based models for human-centered explainability.
