文摘The biological stabilization of soil using microbially induced carbonate precipitation(MICP)employs ureolytic bacteria to precipitate calcium carbonate(CaCO3),which binds soil particles,enhancing strength,stiffness,and erosion resistance.The unconfinedcompressive strength(UCS),a key measure of soil strength,is critical in geotechnical engineering as it directly reflectsthe mechanical stability of treated soils.This study integrates explainable artificialintelligence(XAI)with geotechnical insights to model the UCS of MICP-treated sands.Using 517 experimental data points and a combination of various input variables—including median grain size(D50),coefficientof uniformity(Cu),void ratio(e),urea concentration(Mu),calcium concentration(Mc),optical density(OD)of bacterial solution,pH,and total injection volume(Vt)—fivemachine learning(ML)models,including eXtreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),Light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM),random forest(RF),gene expression programming(GEP),and multivariate adaptive regression splines(MARS),were developed and optimized.The ensemble models(XGBoost,LightGBM,and RF)were optimized using the Chernobyl disaster optimizer(CDO),a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm.Of these,LightGBM-CDO achieved the highest accuracy for UCS prediction.XAI techniques like feature importance analysis(FIA),SHapley additive exPlanations(SHAP),and partial dependence plots(PDPs)were also used to investigate the complex non-linear relationships between the input and output variables.The results obtained have demonstrated that the XAI-driven models can enhance the predictive accuracy and interpretability of MICP processes,offering a sustainable pathway for optimizing geotechnical applications.

文摘Although machine learning models have achieved high enough accuracy in predicting shield position deviations,their“black box”nature makes the prediction mechanisms and decision-making processes opaque,leading to weaker explanations and practicability.This study introduces a novel explainable deep learning framework comprising the Informer model with enhanced attention mechanisms(EAMInfor)and deep learning important features(DeepLIFT),aimed at improving the prediction accuracy of shield position deviations and providing interpretability for predictive results.The EAMInfor model attempts to integrate channel attention,spatial attention,and simple attention modules to improve the Informer model's performance.The framework is tested with the four different geological conditions datasets generated from the Xiamen metro line 3,China.Results show that the EAMInfor model outperforms the traditional Informer and comparison models.The analysis with the DeepLIFT method indicates that the push thrust of push cylinder and the earth chamber pressure are the most significant features,while the stroke length of the push cylinder demonstrated lower importance.Furthermore,the variation trends in the significance of data points within input sequences exhibit substantial differences between single and composite strata.This framework not only improves predictive accuracy but also strengthens the credibility and reliability of the results.

文摘Artificial Intelligence(AI)is changing healthcare by helping with diagnosis.However,for doctors to trust AI tools,they need to be both accurate and easy to understand.In this study,we created a new machine learning system for the early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD)in children.Our main goal was to build a model that is not only good at predicting ASD but also clear in its reasoning.For this,we combined several different models,including Random Forest,XGBoost,and Neural Networks,into a single,more powerful framework.We used two different types of datasets:(i)a standard behavioral dataset and(ii)a more complex multimodal dataset with images,audio,and physiological information.The datasets were carefully preprocessed for missing values,redundant features,and dataset imbalance to ensure fair learning.The results outperformed the state-of-the-art with a Regularized Neural Network,achieving 97.6%accuracy on behavioral data.Whereas,on the multimodal data,the accuracy is 98.2%.Other models also did well with accuracies consistently above 96%.We also used SHAP and LIME on a behavioral dataset for models’explainability.

文摘Breast cancer diagnosis relies heavily on many kinds of information from diverse sources—like mammogram images,ultrasound scans,patient records,and genetic tests—but most AI tools look at only one of these at a time,which limits their ability to produce accurate and comprehensive decisions.In recent years,multimodal learning has emerged,enabling the integration of heterogeneous data to improve performance and diagnostic accuracy.However,doctors cannot always see how or why these AI tools make their choices,which is a significant bottleneck in their reliability,along with adoption in clinical settings.Hence,people are adding explainable AI techniques that show the steps the model takes.This review investigates previous work that has employed multimodal learning and XAI for the diagnosis of breast cancer.It discusses the types of data,fusion techniques,and XAI models employed.It was done following the PRISMA guidelines and included studies from 2021 to April 2025.The literature search was performed systematically and resulted in 61 studies.The review highlights a gradual increase in current studies focusing on multimodal fusion and XAI,particularly in the years 2023–2024.It found that studies using multi-modal data fusion achieved the highest accuracy by 5%–10%on average compared to other studies that used single-modality data,an intermediate fusion strategy,and modern fusion techniques,such as cross attention,achieved the highest accuracy and best performance.The review also showed that SHAP,Grad-CAM,and LIME techniques are the most used in explaining breast cancer diagnostic models.There is a clear research shift toward integrating multimodal learning and XAI techniques into the breast cancer diagnostics field.However,several gaps were identified,including the scarcity of public multimodal datasets.Lack of a unified explainable framework in multimodal fusion systems,and lack of standardization in evaluating explanations.These limitations call for future research focused on building more shared datasets and integrating multimodal data and explainable AI techniques to improve decision-making and enhance transparency.
文摘Quality of Service(QoS)assurance in programmable IoT and 5G networks is increasingly threatened by cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS),spoofing,and botnet intrusions.This paper presents AutoSHARC,a feedback-driven,explainable intrusion detection framework that integrates Boruta and LightGBM–SHAP feature selection with a lightweight CNN–Attention–GRU classifier.AutoSHARC employs a two-stage feature selection pipeline to identify the most informative features from high-dimensional IoT traffic and reduces 46 features to 30 highly informative ones,followed by post-hoc SHAP-guided retraining to refine feature importance,forming a feedback loopwhere only the most impactful attributes are reused to retrain themodel.This iterative refinement reduces computational overhead,accelerates detection latency,and improves transparency.Evaluated on the CIC IoT 2023 dataset,AutoSHARC achieves 98.98%accuracy,98.9%F1-score,and strong robustness with a Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 0.98 and Cohen’s Kappa of 0.98.The final model contains only 531,272 trainable parameters with a compact 2 MB size,enabling real-time deployment on resource-constrained IoT nodes.By combining explainable AI with iterative feature refinement,AutoSHARC provides scalable and trustworthy intrusion detection while preserving key QoS indicators such as latency,throughput,and reliability.
文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally,necessitating advanced diagnostic tools to improve early detection and personalized targeted therapy.This review synthesizes evidence on explainable ensemble learning approaches for HCC classification,emphasizing their integration with clinical workflows and multi-omics data.A systematic analysis[including datasets such as The Cancer Genome Atlas,Gene Expression Omnibus,and the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results(SEER)datasets]revealed that explainable ensemble learning models achieve high diagnostic accuracy by combining clinical features,serum biomarkers such as alpha-fetoprotein,imaging features such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging,and genomic data.For instance,SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)-based random forests trained on NCBI GSE14520 microarray data(n=445)achieved 96.53%accuracy,while stacking ensembles applied to the SEER program data(n=1897)demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.779 for mortality prediction.Despite promising results,challenges persist,including the computational costs of SHAP and local interpretable model-agnostic explanations analyses(e.g.,TreeSHAP requiring distributed computing for metabolomics datasets)and dataset biases(e.g.,SEER’s Western population dominance limiting generalizability).Future research must address inter-cohort heterogeneity,standardize explainability metrics,and prioritize lightweight surrogate models for resource-limited settings.This review presents the potential of explainable ensemble learning frameworks to bridge the gap between predictive accuracy and clinical interpretability,though rigorous validation in independent,multi-center cohorts is critical for real-world deployment.

文摘Wildfires significantly disrupt the physical and hydrologic conditions of the environment,leading to vegetation loss and altered surface geo-material properties.These complex dynamics promote post-fire gully erosion,yet the key conditioning factors(e.g.,topography,hydrology)remain insufficiently understood.This study proposes a novel artificial intelligence(AI)framework that integrates four machine learning(ML)models with Shapley Additive Explanations(SHAP)method,offering a hierarchical perspective from global to local on the dominant factors controlling gully distribution in wildfireaffected areas.In a case study of Xiangjiao catchment burned on March 28,2020,in Muli County in Sichuan Province of Southwest China,we derived 21 geoenvironmental factors to assess the susceptibility of post-fire gully erosion using logistic regression(LR),support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF),and convolutional neural network(CNN)models.SHAP-based model interpretation revealed eight key conditioning factors:topographic position index(TPI),topographic wetness index(TWI),distance to stream,mean annual precipitation,differenced normalized burn ratio(d NBR),land use/cover,soil type,and distance to road.Comparative model evaluation demonstrated that reduced-variable models incorporating these dominant factors achieved accuracy comparable to that of the initial-variable models,with AUC values exceeding 0.868 across all ML algorithms.These findings provide critical insights into gully erosion behavior in wildfire-affected areas,supporting the decision-making process behind environmental management and hazard mitigation.

文摘Deep learning(DL)has become a crucial technique for predicting the El Niño-Southern Oscillation(ENSO)and evaluating its predictability.While various DL-based models have been developed for ENSO predictions,many fail to capture the coherent multivariate evolution within the coupled ocean-atmosphere system of the tropical Pacific.To address this three-dimensional(3D)limitation and represent ENSO-related ocean-atmosphere interactions more accurately,a novel this 3D multivariate prediction model was proposed based on a Transformer architecture,which incorporates a spatiotemporal self-attention mechanism.This model,named 3D-Geoformer,offers several advantages,enabling accurate ENSO predictions up to one and a half years in advance.Furthermore,an integrated gradient method was introduced into the model to identify the sources of predictability for sea surface temperature(SST)variability in the eastern equatorial Pacific.Results reveal that the 3D-Geoformer effectively captures ENSO-related precursors during the evolution of ENSO events,particularly the thermocline feedback processes and ocean temperature anomaly pathways on and off the equator.By extending DL-based ENSO predictions from one-dimensional Niño time series to 3D multivariate fields,the 3D-Geoformer represents a significant advancement in ENSO prediction.This study provides details in the model formulation,analysis procedures,sensitivity experiments,and illustrative examples,offering practical guidance for the application of the model in ENSO research.

文摘The high porosity and tunable chemical functionality of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)make it a promising catalyst design platform.High-throughput screening of catalytic performance is feasible since the large MOF structure database is available.In this study,we report a machine learning model for high-throughput screening of MOF catalysts for the CO_(2) cycloaddition reaction.The descriptors for model training were judiciously chosen according to the reaction mechanism,which leads to high accuracy up to 97%for the 75%quantile of the training set as the classification criterion.The feature contribution was further evaluated with SHAP and PDP analysis to provide a certain physical understanding.12,415 hypothetical MOF structures and 100 reported MOFs were evaluated under 100℃ and 1 bar within one day using the model,and 239 potentially efficient catalysts were discovered.Among them,MOF-76(Y)achieved the top performance experimentally among reported MOFs,in good agreement with the prediction.
文摘The increasing use of cloud-based devices has reached the critical point of cybersecurity and unwanted network traffic.Cloud environments pose significant challenges in maintaining privacy and security.Global approaches,such as IDS,have been developed to tackle these issues.However,most conventional Intrusion Detection System(IDS)models struggle with unseen cyberattacks and complex high-dimensional data.In fact,this paper introduces the idea of a novel distributed explainable and heterogeneous transformer-based intrusion detection system,named INTRUMER,which offers balanced accuracy,reliability,and security in cloud settings bymultiplemodulesworking together within it.The traffic captured from cloud devices is first passed to the TC&TM module in which the Falcon Optimization Algorithm optimizes the feature selection process,and Naie Bayes algorithm performs the classification of features.The selected features are classified further and are forwarded to the Heterogeneous Attention Transformer(HAT)module.In this module,the contextual interactions of the network traffic are taken into account to classify them as normal or malicious traffic.The classified results are further analyzed by the Explainable Prevention Module(XPM)to ensure trustworthiness by providing interpretable decisions.With the explanations fromthe classifier,emergency alarms are transmitted to nearby IDSmodules,servers,and underlying cloud devices for the enhancement of preventive measures.Extensive experiments on benchmark IDS datasets CICIDS 2017,Honeypots,and NSL-KDD were conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the INTRUMER model in detecting network trafficwith high accuracy for different types.Theproposedmodel outperforms state-of-the-art approaches,obtaining better performance metrics:98.7%accuracy,97.5%precision,96.3%recall,and 97.8%F1-score.Such results validate the robustness and effectiveness of INTRUMER in securing diverse cloud environments against sophisticated cyber threats.

文摘Incorporation of explainability features in the decision-making web-based systems is considered a primary concern to enhance accountability,transparency,and trust in the community.Multi-domain Sentiment Analysis is a significant web-based system where the explainability feature is essential for achieving user satisfaction.Conventional design methodologies such as object-oriented design methodology(OODM)have been proposed for web-based application development,which facilitates code reuse,quantification,and security at the design level.However,OODM did not provide the feature of explainability in web-based decision-making systems.X-OODM modifies the OODM with added explainable models to introduce the explainability feature for such systems.This research introduces an explainable model leveraging X-OODM for designing transparent applications for multidomain sentiment analysis.The proposed design is evaluated using the design quality metrics defined for the evaluation of the X-OODM explainable model under user context.The design quality metrics,transferability,simulatability,informativeness,and decomposability were introduced one after another over time to the evaluation of the X-OODM user context.Auxiliary metrics of accessibility and algorithmic transparency were added to increase the degree of explainability for the design.The study results reveal that introducing such explainability parameters with X-OODM appropriately increases system transparency,trustworthiness,and user understanding.The experimental results validate the enhancement of decision-making for multi-domain sentiment analysis with integration at the design level of explainability.Future work can be built in this direction by extending this work to apply the proposed X-OODM framework over different datasets and sentiment analysis applications to further scrutinize its effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
文摘In the field of precision healthcare,where accurate decision-making is paramount,this study underscores the indispensability of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence(XAI)in the context of epilepsy management within the Internet of Medical Things(IoMT).The methodology entails meticulous preprocessing,involving the application of a band-pass filter and epoch segmentation to optimize the quality of Electroencephalograph(EEG)data.The subsequent extraction of statistical features facilitates the differentiation between seizure and non-seizure patterns.The classification phase integrates Support Vector Machine(SVM),K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN),and Random Forest classifiers.Notably,SVM attains an accuracy of 97.26%,excelling in the precision,recall,specificity,and F1 score for identifying seizures and non-seizure instances.Conversely,KNN achieves an accuracy of 72.69%,accompanied by certain trade-offs.The Random Forest classifierstands out with a remarkable accuracy of 99.89%,coupled with an exceptional precision(99.73%),recall(100%),specificity(99.80%),and F1 score(99.86%),surpassing both SVM and KNN performances.XAI techniques,namely Local Interpretable ModelAgnostic Explanations(LIME)and SHapley Additive exPlanation(SHAP),enhance the system’s transparency.This combination of machine learning and XAI not only improves the reliability and accuracy of the seizure detection system but also enhances trust and interpretability.Healthcare professionals can leverage the identified important features and their dependencies to gain deeper insights into the decision-making process,aiding in informed diagnosis and treatment decisions for patients with epilepsy.
文摘Predictive maintenance plays a crucial role in preventing equipment failures and minimizing operational downtime in modern industries.However,traditional predictive maintenance methods often face challenges in adapting to diverse industrial environments and ensuring the transparency and fairness of their predictions.This paper presents a novel predictive maintenance framework that integrates deep learning and optimization techniques while addressing key ethical considerations,such as transparency,fairness,and explainability,in artificial intelligence driven decision-making.The framework employs an Autoencoder for feature reduction,a Convolutional Neural Network for pattern recognition,and a Long Short-Term Memory network for temporal analysis.To enhance transparency,the decision-making process of the framework is made interpretable,allowing stakeholders to understand and trust the model’s predictions.Additionally,Particle Swarm Optimization is used to refine hyperparameters for optimal performance and mitigate potential biases in the model.Experiments are conducted on multiple datasets from different industrial scenarios,with performance validated using accuracy,precision,recall,F1-score,and training time metrics.The results demonstrate an impressive accuracy of up to 99.92%and 99.45%across different datasets,highlighting the framework’s effectiveness in enhancing predictive maintenance strategies.Furthermore,the model’s explainability ensures that the decisions can be audited for fairness and accountability,aligning with ethical standards for critical systems.By addressing transparency and reducing potential biases,this framework contributes to the responsible and trustworthy deployment of artificial intelligence in industrial environments,particularly in safety-critical applications.The results underscore its potential for wide application across various industrial contexts,enhancing both performance and ethical decision-making.
文摘With the ongoing digitalization and intelligence of power systems,there is an increasing reliance on large-scale data-driven intelligent technologies for tasks such as scheduling optimization and load forecasting.Nevertheless,power data often contains sensitive information,making it a critical industry challenge to efficiently utilize this data while ensuring privacy.Traditional Federated Learning(FL)methods can mitigate data leakage by training models locally instead of transmitting raw data.Despite this,FL still has privacy concerns,especially gradient leakage,which might expose users’sensitive information.Therefore,integrating Differential Privacy(DP)techniques is essential for stronger privacy protection.Even so,the noise from DP may reduce the performance of federated learning models.To address this challenge,this paper presents an explainability-driven power data privacy federated learning framework.It incorporates DP technology and,based on model explainability,adaptively adjusts privacy budget allocation and model aggregation,thus balancing privacy protection and model performance.The key innovations of this paper are as follows:(1)We propose an explainability-driven power data privacy federated learning framework.(2)We detail a privacy budget allocation strategy:assigning budgets per training round by gradient effectiveness and at model granularity by layer importance.(3)We design a weighted aggregation strategy that considers the SHAP value and model accuracy for quality knowledge sharing.(4)Experiments show the proposed framework outperforms traditional methods in balancing privacy protection and model performance in power load forecasting tasks.

文摘Predicting the health status of stroke patients at different stages of the disease is a critical clinical task.The onset and development of stroke are affected by an array of factors,encompassing genetic predisposition,environmental exposure,unhealthy lifestyle habits,and existing medical conditions.Although existing machine learning-based methods for predicting stroke patients’health status have made significant progress,limitations remain in terms of prediction accuracy,model explainability,and system optimization.This paper proposes a multi-task learning approach based on Explainable Artificial Intelligence(XAI)for predicting the health status of stroke patients.First,we design a comprehensive multi-task learning framework that utilizes the task correlation of predicting various health status indicators in patients,enabling the parallel prediction of multiple health indicators.Second,we develop a multi-task Area Under Curve(AUC)optimization algorithm based on adaptive low-rank representation,which removes irrelevant information from the model structure to enhance the performance of multi-task AUC optimization.Additionally,the model’s explainability is analyzed through the stability analysis of SHAP values.Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms comparison algorithms in key prognostic metrics F1 score and Efficiency.
文摘Short Message Service(SMS)is a widely used and cost-effective communication medium that has unfortunately become a frequent target for unsolicited messages-commonly known as SMS spam.With the rapid adoption of smartphones and increased Internet connectivity,SMS spam has emerged as a prevalent threat.Spammers have recognized the critical role SMS plays in today’s modern communication,making it a prime target for abuse.As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve,the volume of SMS spam has increased substantially in recent years.Moreover,the unstructured format of SMS data creates significant challenges for SMS spam detection,making it more difficult to successfully combat spam attacks.In this paper,we present an optimized and fine-tuned transformer-based Language Model to address the problem of SMS spam detection.We use a benchmark SMS spam dataset to analyze this spam detection model.Additionally,we utilize pre-processing techniques to obtain clean and noise-free data and address class imbalance problem by leveraging text augmentation techniques.The overall experiment showed that our optimized fine-tuned BERT(Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers)variant model RoBERTa obtained high accuracy with 99.84%.To further enhance model transparency,we incorporate Explainable Artificial Intelligence(XAI)techniques that compute positive and negative coefficient scores,offering insight into the model’s decision-making process.Additionally,we evaluate the performance of traditional machine learning models as a baseline for comparison.This comprehensive analysis demonstrates the significant impact language models can have on addressing complex text-based challenges within the cybersecurity landscape.
