Abstract
Classification of collections of items such as words, which are called 'document classification,' and more specifically explaining a classification of a document, such as a web-page or website. This can include exemplary procedure, system and/or computer-accessible medium to find explanations, as well as a framework to assess the procedure's performance. An explanation is defined as a set of words (e.g., terms, more generally) such that removing words within this set from the document changes the predicted class from the class of interest. The exemplary procedure system and/or computer-accessible medium can include a classification of web pages as containing adult content, e.g., to allow advertising on safe web pages only. The explanations can be concise and document-specific, and provide insight into the reasons for the classification decisions, into the workings of the classification models, and into the business application itself. Other exemplary aspects describe how explaining documents' classifications can assist in improving the data quality and model performance.
