Yet almost all of the field's effort has gone into building and comparing these methods, and little into the question they were meant to answer---how interpretable are our models, and are we making progress as they evolve? We argue for shifting the field's focus from methods to models, along two complementary lines. One is already within reach: existing tools let us characterize and compare what different models represent
