Explainable Question Answering

Explainable Question Answering (XQA) combines neural reading-comprehension models — typically BERT-family transformers — with interpretability methods such as rationale extraction, attention visualization, LIME, or SHAP to reveal why the model selected a particular answer span. The goal is not just accuracy but trustworthy, auditable reasoning that users and domain experts can inspect and verify.
