Abstract:
Despite the fact that neural network models outperform other approaches to text classification problems, some data scientists still hesitate to use them based on the assumption that interpreting the models decisions is impossible. In this talk, I will discuss the difference between global & local interpretability; what these concepts mean in the context of text classification models; & how to use two specific local interpretability methods, saliency & occlusion, to open the black box of a neural network. I will also touch on hierarchical attention networks, a neural network text classification model with built-in local interpretability in the form of attention.
