• Abstract: In this paper, we propose an explainable and interpretable diabetic retinopathy (ExplainDR) classification model based on neural-symbolic learning. To gain explainability, a highlevel symbolic representation should be considered in decision making. Specifically, we introduce a human-readable symbolic representation, which follows a taxonomy style of diabetic retinopathy characteristics related to eye health conditions to achieve explainability. We then include humanreadable features obtained from the symbolic representation in the disease prediction. Experimental results on a diabetic retinopathy classification dataset show that our proposed ExplainDR method exhibits promising performance when compared to that from state-of-the-art methods applied to the IDRiD dataset, while also providing interpretability and explainability.

  This article proposes a classification for explainability by considering both model design and behavior of 191 studies from 2013. We classify them into five categories by considering whether the form of bridging the representation differences is readable. We put forward suggestions for future research in three aspects: unified representations, enhancing model explainability, ethical considerations, and social impact.
