Towards Explainable Khmer Polarity Classification
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The recent development in Khmer polarity classification marks a significant step in natural language processing, particularly for the Khmer language. The introduction of an explainable classifier, fine-tuned from the Qwen-3 model, not only enhances the accuracy of sentiment predictions but also provides transparency by rationalizing its decisions through self-explanations. This is crucial for fostering trust in AI applications, especially in languages that have been historically underrepresented in AI research. Furthermore, the creation of a new Khmer polarity dataset, which includes a variety of expressions, supports the classifier's training and is publicly available via a gated Hugging Face repository. This initiative not only contributes to the advancement of AI technologies in the Khmer language but also sets a precedent for future research in explainable AI, emphasizing the importance of understanding the rationale behind AI predictions.
