EXPLAINABLE PASSAGE CLASSIFICATION

An embodiment includes tokenizing an input passage into an n-gram sequence of tokens. The embodiment also includes evaluating the input passage using a trained classification model that generates an output indicative of a classification of the input passage. The embodiment also includes generating a first token vector for a first token of the sequence of tokens and projecting the first token vector to a higher dimensional space, resulting in a first projected token vector. The embodiment also includes generating a first similarity score for the first projected token vector based on comparisons of the first projected token vector to each of a plurality of class representations. The embodiment also includes generating a ranked list of the tokens, wherein the generating of the ranked list includes ranking the first token among others of the tokens based on the first similarity score.
