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.
