AI Readiness in Healthcare through Storytelling XAI

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly advancing and radically impacting everyday life, driven by the increasing availability of computing power. Despite this trend, the adoption of AI in real-world healthcare is still limited. One of the main reasons is the trustworthiness of AI models and the potential hesitation of domain experts with model predictions. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques aim to address these issues. However, explainability can mean different things to people with different backgrounds, expertise, and goals. To address the target audience with diverse needs, we develop storytelling XAI. In this research, we have developed an approach that combines multi-task distillation with interpretability techniques to enable audience-centric explainability. Using multi-task distillation allows the model to exploit the relationships between tasks, potentially improving interpretability as each task supports the other leading to an enhanced interpretability from the perspective of a domain expert. The distillation process allows us to extend this research to large deep models that are highly complex. We focus on both model-agnostic and model-specific methods of interpretability, supported by textual justification of the results in healthcare through our use case. Our methods increase the trust of both the domain experts and the machine learning experts to enable a responsible AI.


Whom to Trust? Elective Learning for Distributed Gaussian Process Regression

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper introduces an innovative approach to enhance distributed cooperative learning using Gaussian process (GP) regression in multi-agent systems (MASs). The key contribution of this work is the development of an elective learning algorithm, namely prior-aware elective distributed GP (Pri-GP), which empowers agents with the capability to selectively request predictions from neighboring agents based on their trustworthiness. The proposed Pri-GP effectively improves individual prediction accuracy, especially in cases where the prior knowledge of an agent is incorrect. Moreover, it eliminates the need for computationally intensive variance calculations for determining aggregation weights in distributed GP. Furthermore, we establish a prediction error bound within the Pri-GP framework, ensuring the reliability of predictions, which is regarded as a crucial property in safety-critical MAS applications.
