Although these methods achieve great success, they are still confronted with a critical challenge, which is the interpretability of predicted codes. Explainable model and results are essential for clinical medicine decision making (Mullenbach et al., 2018) . Thus, the practical approach is supposed to predict correct codes and simultaneously give the reason why each code is predicted. In this paper, we try to provide the interpretability of predictions from a semantic perspective. It is a phenomenon that the exact disease names or similar expressions of disease names often appear in the discharge summary. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the exact matching with disease name such as \"fatty liver\" is a direct evidence of inference. We call the continuous consistent words as explicit semantic features. Moreover, the inexact matching such as \"rheumatoid multisite arthritis\" is also very useful to predict the codes and should be taken into consideration. We refer to the non-continuous Figure 2 : The screenshot of Clinical-Coder system, the English version can be found in the appendix A.

The two kinds of semantic features are both clues to explain the reason why to assign each code, which is also the basis of experts in manual coding process.

In this calculation, we can distinguish the importance degree of n-gram substring. It also works on English clinical notes, for instance, in a specific case from MIMIC-III (Johnson et al., 2016) , the tf-idf value of \"history of\" is 1.79 while \"atrial fibrillation\" is 9.32 because \"history of\" appears 249 times in all ICD disease names and \"atrial fibrillation\" only appears two times. The higher the value is, the more representative the word is. Therefore \"atrial fibrillation\" is more likely to indicate a disease than \"history of\". Implicit Semantic Features. Dilated convolution is applied to capture implicit semantic features. For a long clinical text, dilated convolution extends the reception field in the situation of not using pooling operation so that every kernel has a wider range of information.

Admission situation involves chief complaints, past medical history, etc. Discharge situation involves the results of general examination. Admission diagnosis and discharge diagnosis involve disease names, which may not be totally consistent with standard names in ICD-10. The manually annotated codes are based on ICD-10, which are tagged by professional coders after reading through the whole clinical note. The dataset (CN-Full) is formed with full labels mentioned above, and it is divided into train set and test set with the radio of 9:1. In addition, due to the phenomenon that massive codes are infrequent, and a small amount of codes are high-frequent, we reconstructed a sub-dataset (CN-50) with the most frequent 50 codes from the original dataset. The specific process is that filtering the origin train set and test set, and maintain the data which has at least one of the top 50 most frequent codes.
