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.

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.
