Explainable Text Summarization/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable Text Summarization

Explainable Text Summarization augments automatic summarization models — extractive or abstractive — with post-hoc or built-in explanation methods that reveal which source sentences, tokens, or attention patterns drove each output sentence. The goal is to audit faithfulness, detect hallucinations, and build trust in model outputs in high-stakes settings such as medical or legal document review.
