Explainable Named Entity Recognition
Explainable Named Entity Recognition (XAI-NER) combines a standard NER model — typically a BERT-based or BiLSTM-CRF sequence labeler — with post-hoc or intrinsic explainability techniques such as LIME, SHAP, attention visualization, or gradient-based saliency to reveal why each token was assigned a particular entity label. This transparency is essential in high-stakes domains like clinical text, legal documents, and biomedical literature.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
