Samenvatting	An Explainable NMF Topic Model combines Non-negative Matrix Factorization — a parts-based decomposition of a document-term matrix — with explicit interpretability techniques such as coherence metrics, word contribution scores, and SHAP-style attribution to make discovered topics transparent and auditable by human readers.	Sentence Embeddings convert a sentence or short text into a single fixed-length dense vector that captures its semantic meaning. These vectors allow downstream tasks — semantic similarity, clustering, retrieval, and classification — to operate on numerical representations instead of raw text, making them one of the most versatile building blocks in modern NLP pipelines.
