Linearly-Interpretable Concept Embedding Models for Text Analysis

Francesco De Santis, Philippe Bich, Gabriele Ciravegna +3

Despite their success, Large-Language Models (LLMs) still face criticism due to their lack of interpretability. Traditional post-hoc interpretation methods, based on attention and…
