arXiv:2610.10301v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern applications of AI rely on increasingly complex models. Explainable AI (XAI) has emerged as a set of techniques aimed at improving model transpa...
arXiv:2607. 24730v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computer vision models have become highly effective for medical applications, yet their black-box nature continues to undermine clinician trust.
The paper presents a plug‑and‑play framework that uses concept-based interpretation to debug medical imaging models. By aligning a single‑modality encoder with BioMedCLIP, the authors build a Concept Bottleneck Model that allows concept‑level interventions to distinguish causal from spurious features. Experiments on Mayo Clinic ultrasound and CheXpert chest X‑ray data show that these interventions can reliably diagnose model issues and even improve performance through guided fine‑tuning.
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.
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.
The paper introduces a synthetic ground‑truth framework for evaluating explainable AI (XAI) methods, addressing the lack of reliable evaluation procedures. By using controlled interventions to create datasets where the importance of input components is known, the framework generates ground‑truth explanations that align with the model’s actual decision process. The authors apply this approach to binary images, tabular data, and time series, and find that nine popular XAI methods exhibit significant limitations, underscoring the need for intervention‑based benchmarks.
