This is the code-repository corresponding the following paper:

Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL, 2021)

Update: If you are looking to evaluate explanations using our metric, you can use this repository instead as this: (1) computes our proposed simulatability metric and also generates explanations that are optimized according to our metric, and (2) is a modern reimplementation of our work, and (iii) is overall better structured and maintained.
