YouTube Sentiment Analysis (later referred to as "YTSA") is an extension developed by a team of KU Leuven students to perform research in the XAI field. The primary goal is to test multiple different interfaces, each using different visualization techniques to explain the model's prediction. You, the user, will be divided in one of four groups, each using a different interface. After watching a preselected video, you are asked to fill in a questionnaire, after which you are free to keep using the extension. However, the interface will be locked to the group you were assigned to.In the future this could change based on the results of the user study.
