Semantic classification of Indonesian consumer health questions by Raniah Nur Hanami, Rahmad Mahendra, Alfan Farizki Wicaksono

“…This framework facilitates a deeper understanding of the role played by word-based features in the model’s decision-making process. Additionally, it empowers us to conduct a comprehensive bias analysis, allowing for the detection of “semantic bias”, where words with no inherent association with a specific semantic type disproportionately influence the model’s predictions. …”
