    Abstract

    Models created by blackbox machine learning techniques such as SVM can be difficult to interpret. It is because these methods do not offer a clear explanation of how classifications are derived that is easy for humans to understand. Other machine learning techniques, such as: decision trees, produce models that are intuitive for humans to interpret. However, there are often cases where an SVM model will out preform a more intuitive model, making interpretation of SVM trained models an important problem. In this paper, we propose a method of visualizing linear SVM models for text classification by analyzing the relation of features in the support vectors. An example of this method is shown in a case study into the interpretation of a model trained on wine tasting notes.
