Abstract
The invention uses document retrieval to explain to a human user the properties of a query object that are revealed by a machine learning procedure, lending interpretability to the procedure. A query object is compared to reference objects by transforming the query object and reference objects into representative tokens. Reference objects with many tokens in common with the query object are returned as relevant result objects by a document retrieval system. The token representation furthermore admits comparison between features of the query object and matched features of the reference object or between the query object and groups of reference objects having common features, thus emphasising characteristics of the query and reference objects of semantic importance to the user based on the intention of their search. Embodiments include retrieval of 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional images, audio clips, and text.
