Explainable Variational Autoencoder
An Explainable Variational Autoencoder (XVAE) extends the standard VAE framework with techniques that make its latent space interpretable: disentangling latent dimensions so each corresponds to a human-understandable factor, or post-hoc attribution methods (SHAP, integrated gradients) that trace reconstructions back to input features. It retains the VAE's generative power while adding transparency required in scientific and high-stakes applications.

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.
