  Over the past decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had great success
recently and is being used in a wide range of academic and industrial fields.
More recently, LLMs have made rapid advancements that have propelled AI to a
new level, enabling even more diverse applications and industrial domains with
intelligence, particularly in areas like software engineering and natural
language processing. Nevertheless, a number of emerging trustworthiness
concerns and issues exhibited in LLMs have already recently received much
attention, without properly solving which the widespread adoption of LLMs could
be greatly hindered in practice. The distinctive characteristics of LLMs, such
as the self-attention mechanism, extremely large model scale, and
autoregressive generation schema, differ from classic AI software based on CNNs
and RNNs and present new challenges for quality analysis. Up to the present, it
still lacks universal and systematic analysis techniques for LLMs despite the
urgent industrial demand. Towards bridging this gap, we initiate an early
exploratory study and propose a universal analysis framework for LLMs, LUNA,
designed to be general and extensible, to enable versatile analysis of LLMs
from multiple quality perspectives in a human-interpretable manner. In
particular, we first leverage the data from desired trustworthiness
perspectives to construct an abstract model as an auxiliary analysis asset,
which is empowered by various abstract model construction methods. To assess
the quality of the abstract model, we collect and define a number of evaluation
metrics, aiming at both abstract model level and the semantics level. Then, the
semantics, which is the degree of satisfaction of the LLM w.r.t. the
trustworthiness perspective, is bound to and enriches the abstract model with
semantics, which enables more detailed analysis applications for diverse
purposes.
