The paper introduces SMILE, a self‑explainable multimodal information bottleneck framework for medical diagnosis. It jointly optimizes predictive accuracy and modality‑specific explainability by selecting the most informative elements within each data modality. Experiments on diverse medical datasets show strong diagnostic performance, including a 9.1‑percentage‑point accuracy gain on the iCTCF dataset, and provide transparent, modality‑aware explanations that enhance both explainability and generalization.
arXiv:2607. 09982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electronic health record (EHR) data are inherently multimodal, and leveraging multiple modalities can improve predictive performance.
Recently, there has been rise in multimodal vision-language models for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), yet their application in breast diagnosis, particularly for predicting biopsy outcomes remains li...
arXiv:2605. 22547v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical image diagnosis has achieved significant progress with deep learning, yet existing methods often rely on isolated visual evidence and lack the ability to effectively leverage similar cases and external knowledge.
The paper introduces MedCertAIn, a framework that uses data‑driven priors to enhance uncertainty estimation in multimodal clinical models. By integrating cross‑modal similarity and modality‑specific corruptions into neural network priors, the authors improve predictive performance and selective prediction for in‑hospital mortality risk using MIMIC‑IV and MIMIC‑CXR data. The results demonstrate competitive accuracy and notable gains over deterministic and stochastic baselines, underscoring the potential of such priors for reliable, uncertainty‑aware clinical decision support.

arXiv:2607. 25933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical diagnostic evaluation should not only assess whether models can provide correct diagnoses, but also reflect the realities of clinical practice, including progressive disclosure of multimodal information, dynamic updating of diagnostic hypotheses, and continuous refinement of clinical reasoning.
arXiv:2608. 02692v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Access to holistic, multimodal data improves the performance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical classification tasks compared to utilizing single modalities or data sources.

arXiv:2205. 04599v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is essential for trustworthy AI in healthcare, yet many existing methods rely on technical explanations that are difficult for clinicians and patients to interpret.
arXiv:2501. 16106v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in multimodal depression recognition for clinical interviews (MDRC) have demonstrated the potential of AI systems by integrating textual, acoustic, and facial cues.
The paper introduces a comparative explainability framework for auditing DeBERTa‑v3 in zero‑shot medical abstract classification. It evaluates five explanation methods—SHAP, LIME, occlusion, Input × Gradient, and Attention × Gradient—using a natural language inference engine on a balanced corpus of 1,000 abstracts per diagnostic category. The study finds that explanatory stability aligns with predictive certainty, identifies three systemic failure mechanisms, and recommends combining multiple explanation methods and quantitative agreement metrics for transformer‑based medical text classifiers.
