• Abstract summary: Explainable AI (XAI) aims to address this requirement by clarifying AI reasoning to support the end users. We built our methodology on three main pillars: decomposing the feature set by leveraging clinical context latent space, assessing the clinical association of global explanations, and Latent Space Similarity (LSS) based local explanations.

• Abstract: Although machine learning (ML) models of AI achieve high performances in medicine, they are not free of errors. Empowering clinicians to identify incorrect model recommendations is crucial for engendering trust in medical AI. Explainable AI (XAI) aims to address this requirement by clarifying AI reasoning to support the end users. Several studies on biomedical imaging achieved promising results recently. Nevertheless, solutions for models using tabular data are not sufficient to meet the requirements of clinicians yet. This paper proposes a methodology to support clinicians in identifying failures of ML models trained with tabular data. We built our methodology on three main pillars: decomposing the feature set by leveraging clinical context latent space, assessing the clinical association of global explanations, and Latent Space Similarity (LSS) based local explanations. We demonstrated our methodology on ML-based recognition of preterm infant morbidities caused by infection. The risk of mortality, lifelong disability, and antibiotic resistance due to model failures was an open research question in this domain. We achieved to identify misclassification cases of two models with our approach. By contextualizing local explanations, our solution provides clinicians with actionable insights to support their autonomy for informed final decisions.

• Towards a perturbation-based explanation for medical AI as differentiable programs [0.0]
  In medicine and healthcare, there is a particular demand for sufficient and objective explainability of the outcome generated by AI models. This work examines a numerical availability of the Jacobian matrix of deep learning models that measures how stably a model responses against small perturbations added to the input. This is a first step towards a perturbation-based explanation, which will assist medical practitioners in understanding and interpreting the response of the AI model in its clinical application.

  Machine learning holds great promise for improving healthcare, but it is critical to ensure that its use will not propagate or amplify health disparities. One potential driver of algorithmic unfairness, shortcut learning, arises when ML models base predictions on improper correlations in the training data. Using multi-task learning, we propose the first method to assess and mitigate shortcut learning as a part of the fairness assessment of clinical ML systems.
