Abstract

With the widespread application of deep learning models in sentiment analysis, the "black-box" nature induces problems like opaque prediction processes and difficult tracing of key decision-making factors, which seriously impairs model credibility and practical deployment. This study proposes an Active Learning-based Unbiased TransSHAP Explanation Model (ALU-TransSHAP). The model screens high-entropy samples via an active learning background selection module to mitigate the distribution bias of background data, optimizes the TransSHAP adaptation layer to construct a bidirectional mapping between short sentences and subwords for aligning semantic units with explanation units, and designs an unbiased Shapley value calculation engine integrated with paired sampling to enhance the accuracy and stability of feature attribution. Experiments on the Weibo Hot Major Review Dataset and SENTI_RATIONALE Dataset demonstrate that ALU-TransSHAP outperforms all baseline models significantly in fidelity (0.89/0.87), stability (0.92/0.88) and prediction change (0.83/0.92), while maintaining acceptable sparsity (0.209/0.211) and computational efficiency (2.5/2.7). The proposed ALU-TransSHAP effectively addresses the interpretation challenges of Transformer models in Chinese scenarios, fully preserves semantic logic, provides reliable explanatory support for sentiment analysis, and remarkably improves the transparency and credibility of model decision-making.
