	title        = {Class Explanations: the Role of Domain-Specific Content and Stop Words},
	abstract     = {We address two understudied areas related to explainability for neural text models. First, class explanations. What features are descriptive across a class, rather than explaining single input instances? Second, the type of features that are used for providing explanations. Does the explanation involve the statistical pattern of word usage or the presence of domain-specific content words? Here, we present a method to extract both class explanations and strategies to differentiate between two types of explanations – domain-specific signals or statistical variations in frequencies of common words. We demonstrate our method using a case study in which we analyse transcripts of political debates in the Swedish Riksdag.},
