Explainable Uncertainty Estimation for Reliable Medical AI

The paper introduces egRUE, an explainable uncertainty estimation method that merges uncertainty quantification with feature‑level explanations for medical AI predictions. egRUE incorporates prediction explanations into its uncertainty calculation and decomposes uncertainty into contributions from individual features. Experiments and a user study with medical experts show that egRUE improves reliability, interpretability, and calibrated trust compared to existing methods.

Prediction certification cannot replace explanation certification: a competence envelope for trustworthy AI under compound stress

The paper argues that prediction‑based certifications—such as accuracy, calibration, and conformal coverage—are insufficient to guarantee trustworthy AI. It proves a separation theorem showing that a model can appear reliable under all prediction‑side certificates yet differ arbitrarily in explanation fidelity and deployment behaviour. The authors propose a competence envelope framework that combines both prediction and explanation certification to detect such hidden failures.

Towards a Unified Multidimensional Explainability Metric: Evaluating Trustworthiness in AI Models

arXiv:2607. 14315v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for assessing the explainability of various XAI methods, such as LIME and SHAP, across multiple datasets and machine learning models, with the ultimate goal of creating a unified multidimensional explainability score.

Interpretable and Calibrated Classification of Clinical Data Using Supervised Feature Binarization

The paper introduces a statistically grounded framework for interpretable, rule-based clinical classification using Bernoulli Naïve Bayes (BNB). It employs supervised chi‑square‑guided binarization to convert continuous medical variables into binary indicators, enabling BNB to handle continuous data while maintaining transparency. On three benchmark datasets—Pima Indians Diabetes, Wisconsin Breast Cancer, and Heart Failure Prediction—the method achieved AUCs of 0.800, 0.984, and 0.919, respectively, and demonstrated reliable probability calibration through cross‑validated analysis and post‑hoc beta calibration.
