Abstract: A system and method for productivity improvements in document comprehension is disclosed. The method includes steps of receiving a query statement for retrieving a subset of documents from a set of documents and generating a query vector to determine the similarity of the query statement with the documents in the set of documents using the query vector and the document vector to generate a document similarity score. The documents in the set of documents are ranked to generate a ranked set of documents. The method further determines at least one of a query explainability score and a document explainability score and provisions a user to select at least one word from at least one from the query statement and the document, extracting the subset of document from the ranked set of documents based on the selection of the user; and displaying the sub set of document.
