Abstract:

This book presents a taxonomy framework and survey of methods relevant to
explaining the decisions and analyzing the inner workings of Natural Language
Processing (NLP) models. The book is intended to provide a snapshot of
Explainable NLP, though the field continues to rapidly grow. The book is
intended to be both readable by first-year M.Sc. students and interesting to
an expert audience. The book opens by motivating a focus on providing a
consistent taxonomy, pointing out inconsistencies and redundancies in previous
taxonomies. It goes on to present (i) a taxonomy or framework for thinking
about how approaches to explainable NLP relate to one another; (ii) brief
surveys of each of the classes in the taxonomy, with a focus on methods that
are relevant for NLP; and (iii) a discussion of the inherent limitations of
some classes of methods, as well as how to best evaluate them. Finally, the
book closes by providing a list of resources for further research on
explainability.
