Interpretable Machine Learning for COVID-19: An Empirical Study on Severity Prediction Task [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, 2021, 2020 The black-box nature of machine learning models hinders the deployment of some high-accuracy models in medical diagnosis. It is risky to put one's life in the hands of models that medical researchers do not fully understand. However, through model interpretation, black-box models can promptly reveal significant biomarkers that medical practitioners may

Harnessing Digital Pathology And Causal Learning To Improve Eosinophilic Esophagitis Dietary Treatment Assignment [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, food antigen-driven, allergic inflammatory condition of the esophagus associated with elevated esophageal eosinophils. EoE is a top cause of chronic dysphagia after GERD. Diagnosis of EoE relies on counting eosinophils in histological slides, a manual and time-consuming task that limits the ability to ...
