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.

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: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.
