  • Patent number: 11880660
    Abstract: Technologies relating to model interpretation are described herein. A text classifier is provided with input text and assigns a class to the input text from amongst several possible classes. Based upon the class assigned to the input text by the text classifier, a class profile of a centroidal classifier is selected, where the class profile is constructed based upon numerous input texts to which the text classifier has previously assigned the class. Based upon the selection of the class profile, information that is indicative of operation of the text classifier with respect to the text classifier assigning the class to the input text is output, where the information includes an exemplar text sequence.
