NEURON: A Neuro-symbolic System for Grounded Clinical Explainability

arXiv:2605. 01189v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Clinical AI adoption is hindered by the black-box/grey-box nature of high-performing models, which lack the ontological grounding and narrative transparency required for professional-level explainability.

Explainable Machine Learning in Healthcare: Methods, Interpretation, and Applications for Clinical Research

arXiv:2608. 07522v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a structured review of commonly used Explainable machine learning (XML) methodologies, including global and local interpretability tools such as SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME), Partial Dependence Plots (PDP), and Individual Conditional Expectation (ICE) plots.
