Mozilla curates a set of root certificate authorities to validate hostnames for TLS in the Firefox browser. Many other software projects, such as Tor Browser and ca-certificates simply follow Mozilla’s list; other entities, such as Apple and Microsoft, make their own decisions for inclusion with considerations for Mozilla’s decisions and the associated public discussion.

In this thesis, we aim at improving interpretability and generalizability through restricting representations. We choose to approach interpretability by focusing on attribution analysis to understand which features contribute to prediction on BERT, and to approach generalizability by focusing on effective methods in low-data regime.
