Muhtasari	Explainable Topic Modeling combines unsupervised topic discovery — such as LDA, NMF, or neural variants like BERTopic — with interpretability tools (top-word lists, coherence scores, SHAP, attention weights) that make the learned topics transparent, auditable, and communicable to domain experts and stakeholders beyond the modeling team.	Topic Modeling is a family of unsupervised probabilistic techniques for discovering latent thematic structure in large text collections. By learning which words tend to co-occur, models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) automatically surface coherent topics — each represented as a distribution over vocabulary — without requiring labelled data.
