- Abstract: The widespread use of artificial intelligence deep neural networks in fields such as medicine and engineering necessitates understanding their decision-making processes. Current explainability methods often produce inconsistent results and struggle to highlight essential signals influencing model inferences. This paper introduces the Evolutionary Independent Deterministic Explanation (EVIDENCE) theory, a novel approach offering a deterministic, model-independent method for extracting significant signals from black-box models. EVIDENCE theory, grounded in robust mathematical formalization, is validated through empirical tests on diverse datasets, including COVID-19 audio diagnostics, Parkinson's disease voice recordings, and the George Tzanetakis music classification dataset (GTZAN). Practical applications of EVIDENCE include improving diagnostic accuracy in healthcare and enhancing audio signal analysis. For instance, in the COVID-19 use case, EVIDENCE-filtered spectrograms fed into a frozen Residual Network with 50 layers improved precision by 32% for positive cases and increased the area under the curve (AUC) by 16% compared to baseline models. For Parkinson's disease classification, EVIDENCE achieved near-perfect precision and sensitivity, with a macro average F1-Score of 0.997. In the GTZAN, EVIDENCE maintained a high AUC of 0.996, demonstrating its efficacy in filtering relevant features for accurate genre classification. EVIDENCE outperformed other Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods such as LIME, SHAP, and GradCAM in almost all metrics. These findings indicate that EVIDENCE not only improves classification accuracy but also provides a transparent and reproducible explanation mechanism, crucial for advancing the trustworthiness and applicability of AI systems in real-world settings.
