Researchers have developed a new method called ChunkGroupSHAP to improve the explainability of dense embedding rankers used in information retrieval. This technique clusters semantically related text chunks across documents to create shared features, addressing the mismatch between word-level explanations and dense representations. Experiments on datasets like MS MARCO and FinQA demonstrated that the optimal explanation granularity depends on the ranker and corpus, suggesting a need for feature units that align with both representational granularity and corpus structure.
