Abstract
The disclosure herein describes interpreting attention-based decisions of summarization outputs generated by a deep learning model. A decision interpretation model obtains attention values defining connections between input tokens associated with a source text and output tokens for a selected portion of a summary associated with the source text. The input tokens having the highest attention values indicating the strongest connections between the input tokens of the source text and an output token of the summary are selected as primary tokens. A semantic similarity between the primary tokens for each attention head and an output token is calculated. The model selects the primary tokens having the closest semantic similarity with the summary portion. A visual cue is generated on or within a portion of the source text corresponding to the primary tokens. The visual cue identifies dominant words in the source text used to explain the summary portion.
