Challenge: Several studies have addressed explainable recommendations that produce natural language sentences . however, this task cannot explain detailed evidences for each hotel .
Approach: They propose to decompose the process into two subtasks: Evidence Identification and Evidence Explanation.
Outcome: The proposed model can explain evidences in recommending hotels given vague requests . it can find evidence sentences with respect to various vague requests and generate recommendation sentences .
