Explainable Topic Modeling Explainable Topic Modeling combines unsupervised topic discovery — such as LDA, NMF, or neural variants like BERTopic — with interpretability tools (top-word lists, coherence scores, SHAP, attention weights) that make the learned topics transparent, auditable, and communicable to domain experts and stakeholders beyond the modeling team.
