Explainability of Text Processing and Retrieval Methods: A Survey

Understand

Deep Learning and Machine Learning based models have become extremely popular in text processing and information retrieval.

• However, the non-linear structures present inside the networks make these models largely inscrutable.
• A significant body of research has focused on increasing the transparency of these models.
• This article provides a broad overview of research on the explainability and interpretability of natural language processing and information retrieval methods.
