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The diagnosis of brain tumors is an extended process that significantly depends on the expertise and skills of radiologists.The rise in patient numbers has substantially elevated the data processing volume,making conventional methods both costly and inefficient.Recently,Artificial Intelligence(AI)has gained prominence for developing automated systems that can accurately diagnose or segment brain tumors in a shorter time frame.Many researchers have examined various algorithms that provide both speed and accuracy in detecting and classifying brain tumors.This paper proposes a newmodel based on AI,called the Brain Tumor Detection(BTD)model,based on brain tumor Magnetic Resonance Images(MRIs).The proposed BTC comprises three main modules:(i)Image Processing Module(IPM),(ii)Patient Detection Module(PDM),and(iii)Explainable AI(XAI).In the first module(i.e.,IPM),the used dataset is preprocessed through two stages:feature extraction and feature selection.At first,the MRI is preprocessed,then the images are converted into a set of features using several feature extraction methods:gray level co-occurrencematrix,histogramof oriented gradient,local binary pattern,and Tamura feature.Next,the most effective features are selected fromthese features separately using ImprovedGrayWolfOptimization(IGWO).IGWOis a hybrid methodology that consists of the Filter Selection Step(FSS)using information gain ratio as an initial selection stage and Binary Gray Wolf Optimization(BGWO)to make the proposed method better at detecting tumors by further optimizing and improving the chosen features.Then,these features are fed to PDM using several classifiers,and the final decision is based on weighted majority voting.Finally,through Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations(LIME)XAI,the interpretability and transparency in decision-making processes are provided.The experiments are performed on a publicly available Brain MRI dataset that consists of 98 normal cases and 154 abnormal cases.During the experiments,the dataset was divided into 70%(177 cases)for training and 30%(75 cases)for testing.The numerical findings demonstrate that the BTD model outperforms its competitors in terms of accuracy,precision,recall,and F-measure.It introduces 98.8%accuracy,97%precision,97.5%recall,and 97.2%F-measure.The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed model to revolutionize brain tumor diagnosis,contribute to better treatment strategies,and improve patient outcomes.

文摘Machine fault diagnostics are essential for industrial operations,and advancements in machine learning have significantly advanced these systems by providing accurate predictions and expedited solutions.Machine learning models,especially those utilizing complex algorithms like deep learning,have demonstrated major potential in extracting important information fromlarge operational datasets.Despite their efficiency,machine learningmodels face challenges,making Explainable AI(XAI)crucial for improving their understandability and fine-tuning.The importance of feature contribution and selection using XAI in the diagnosis of machine faults is examined in this study.The technique is applied to evaluate different machine-learning algorithms.Extreme Gradient Boosting,Support Vector Machine,Gaussian Naive Bayes,and Random Forest classifiers are used alongside Logistic Regression(LR)as a baseline model because their efficacy and simplicity are evaluated thoroughly with empirical analysis.The XAI is used as a targeted feature selection technique to select among 29 features of the time and frequency domain.The XAI approach is lightweight,trained with only targeted features,and achieved similar results as the traditional approach.The accuracy without XAI on baseline LR is 79.57%,whereas the approach with XAI on LR is 80.28%.
文摘Neonatal sepsis is the third most common cause of neonatal mortality and a serious public health problem,especially in developing countries.There have been researches on human sepsis,vaccine response,and immunity.Also,machine learning methodologies were used for predicting infant mortality based on certain features like age,birth weight,gestational weeks,and Appearance,Pulse,Grimace,Activity and Respiration(APGAR)score.Sepsis,which is considered the most determining condition towards infant mortality,has never been considered for mortality prediction.So,we have deployed a deep neural model which is the state of art and performed a comparative analysis of machine learning models to predict the mortality among infants based on the most important features including sepsis.Also,for assessing the prediction reliability of deep neural model which is a black box,Explainable AI models like Dalex and Lime have been deployed.This would help any non-technical personnel like doctors and practitioners to understand and accordingly make decisions.

文摘In the current landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic,the utilization of deep learning in medical imaging,especially in chest computed tomography(CT)scan analysis for virus detection,has become increasingly significant.Despite its potential,deep learning’s“black box”nature has been a major impediment to its broader acceptance in clinical environments,where transparency in decision-making is imperative.To bridge this gap,our research integrates Explainable AI(XAI)techniques,specifically the Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations(LIME)method,with advanced deep learning models.This integration forms a sophisticated and transparent framework for COVID-19 identification,enhancing the capability of standard Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)models through transfer learning and data augmentation.Our approach leverages the refined DenseNet201 architecture for superior feature extraction and employs data augmentation strategies to foster robust model generalization.The pivotal element of our methodology is the use of LIME,which demystifies the AI decision-making process,providing clinicians with clear,interpretable insights into the AI’s reasoning.This unique combination of an optimized Deep Neural Network(DNN)with LIME not only elevates the precision in detecting COVID-19 cases but also equips healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of the diagnostic process.Our method,validated on the SARS-COV-2 CT-Scan dataset,demonstrates exceptional diagnostic accuracy,with performance metrics that reinforce its potential for seamless integration into modern healthcare systems.This innovative approach marks a significant advancement in creating explainable and trustworthy AI tools for medical decisionmaking in the ongoing battle against COVID-19.
文摘In the era of the Internet of Things(IoT),the proliferation of connected devices has raised security concerns,increasing the risk of intrusions into diverse systems.Despite the convenience and efficiency offered by IoT technology,the growing number of IoT devices escalates the likelihood of attacks,emphasizing the need for robust security tools to automatically detect and explain threats.This paper introduces a deep learning methodology for detecting and classifying distributed denial of service(DDoS)attacks,addressing a significant security concern within IoT environments.An effective procedure of deep transfer learning is applied to utilize deep learning backbones,which is then evaluated on two benchmarking datasets of DDoS attacks in terms of accuracy and time complexity.By leveraging several deep architectures,the study conducts thorough binary and multiclass experiments,each varying in the complexity of classifying attack types and demonstrating real-world scenarios.Additionally,this study employs an explainable artificial intelligence(XAI)AI technique to elucidate the contribution of extracted features in the process of attack detection.The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method,achieving a recall of 99.39%by the XAI bidirectional long short-term memory(XAI-BiLSTM)model.
文摘Traditional machine learning metrics(TMLMs)are quite useful for the current research work precision,recall,accuracy,MSE and RMSE.Not enough for a practitioner to be confident about the performance and dependability of innovative interpretable model 85%–92%.We included in the prediction process,machine learning models(MLMs)with greater than 99%accuracy with a sensitivity of 95%–98%and specifically in the database.We need to explain the model to domain specialists through the MLMs.Human-understandable explanations in addition to ML professionals must establish trust in the prediction of our model.This is achieved by creating a model-independent,locally accurate explanation set that makes it better than the primary model.As we know that human interaction with machine learning systems on this model’s interpretability is more crucial.For supporting set validations in model selection insurance premium prediction.In this study,we proposed the use of the(LIME and SHAP)approach to understand research properly and explain a model developed using random forest regression to predict insurance premiums.The SHAP algorithm’s drawback,as seen in our experiments,is its lengthy computing time—to produce the findings,it must compute every possible combination.In addition,the experiments conducted were intended to focus on the model’s interpretability and explain its ability using LIME and SHAP,not the insurance premium charge prediction.Three experiments were conducted through experiment,one was to interpret the random forest regression model using LIME techniques.In experiment 2,we used the SHAP technique to interpret the model insurance premium prediction(IPP).
文摘Intrusion detection in Internet of Things(IoT)environments presents challenges due to heterogeneous devices,diverse attack vectors,and highly imbalanced datasets.Existing research on the ToN-IoT dataset has largely emphasized binary classification and single-model pipelines,which often showstrong performance but limited generalizability,probabilistic reliability,and operational interpretability.This study proposes a stacked ensemble deep learning framework that integrates random forest,extreme gradient boosting,and a deep neural network as base learners,with CatBoost as the meta-learner.On the ToN-IoT Linux process dataset,the model achieved near-perfect discrimination(macro area under the curve=0.998),robust calibration,and superior F1-scores compared with standalone classifiers.Interpretability was achieved through SHapley Additive exPlanations–based feature attribution,which highlights actionable drivers ofmalicious behavior,such as command-line patterns,process scheduling anomalies,and CPU usage spikes,and aligns these indicators with MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques.Complementary analyses,including cumulative lift and sensitivity-specificity trade-offs,revealed the framework’s suitability for deployment in security operations centers,where calibrated risk scores,transparent explanations,and resource-aware triage are essential.These contributions bridge methodological rigor in artificial intelligence/machine learning with operational priorities in cybersecurity,delivering a scalable and explainable intrusion detection system suitable for real-world deployment in IoT environments.

文摘The convergence of Software Defined Networking(SDN)in Internet of Vehicles(IoV)enables a flexible,programmable,and globally visible network control architecture across Road Side Units(RSUs),cloud servers,and automobiles.While this integration enhances scalability and safety,it also raises sophisticated cyberthreats,particularly Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS)attacks.Traditional rule-based anomaly detection methods often struggle to detectmodern low-and-slowDDoS patterns,thereby leading to higher false positives.To this end,this study proposes an explainable hybrid framework to detect DDoS attacks in SDN-enabled IoV(SDN-IoV).The hybrid framework utilizes a Residual Network(ResNet)to capture spatial correlations and a Bi-Long Short-Term Memory(BiLSTM)to capture both forward and backward temporal dependencies in high-dimensional input patterns.To ensure transparency and trustworthiness,themodel integrates the Explainable AI(XAI)technique,i.e.,SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP).SHAP highlights the contribution of each feature during the decision-making process,facilitating security analysts to understand the rationale behind the attack classification decision.The SDN-IoV environment is created in Mininet-WiFi and SUMO,and the hybrid model is trained on the CICDDoS2019 security dataset.The simulation results reveal the efficacy of the proposed model in terms of standard performance metrics compared to similar baseline methods.

文摘Network attacks have become a critical issue in the internet security domain.Artificial intelligence technology-based detection methodologies have attracted attention;however,recent studies have struggled to adapt to changing attack patterns and complex network environments.In addition,it is difficult to explain the detection results logically using artificial intelligence.We propose a method for classifying network attacks using graph models to explain the detection results.First,we reconstruct the network packet data into a graphical structure.We then use a graph model to predict network attacks using edge classification.To explain the prediction results,we observed numerical changes by randomly masking and calculating the importance of neighbors,allowing us to extract significant subgraphs.Our experiments on six public datasets demonstrate superior performance with an average F1-score of 0.960 and accuracy of 0.964,outperforming traditional machine learning and other graph models.The visual representation of the extracted subgraphs highlights the neighboring nodes that have the greatest impact on the results,thus explaining detection.In conclusion,this study demonstrates that graph-based models are suitable for network attack detection in complex environments,and the importance of graph neighbors can be calculated to efficiently analyze the results.This approach can contribute to real-world network security analyses and provide a new direction in the field.

文摘Most Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)interpretation techniques visualize only the dominant cues that the model relies on,but there is no guarantee that these represent all the evidence the model uses for classification.This limitation becomes critical when hidden secondary cues—potentially more meaningful than the visualized ones—remain undiscovered.This study introduces CasCAM(Cascaded Class Activation Mapping)to address this fundamental limitation through counterfactual reasoning.By asking“if this dominant cue were absent,what other evidence would the model use?”,CasCAM progressively masks the most salient features and systematically uncovers the hierarchy of classification evidence hidden beneath them.Experimental results demonstrate that CasCAM effectively discovers the full spectrum of reasoning evidence and can be universally applied with nine existing interpretation methods.

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This study presents a framework for the semi-automatic detection of rock discontinuities using a threedimensional(3D)point cloud(PC).The process begins by selecting an appropriate neighborhood size,a critical step for feature extraction from the PC.The effects of different neighborhood sizes(k=5,10,20,50,and 100)have been evaluated to assess their impact on classification performance.After that,17 geometric and spatial features were extracted from the PC.Next,ensemble methods,AdaBoost.M2,random forest,and decision tree,have been compared with Artificial Neural Networks to classify the main discontinuity sets.The McNemar test indicates that the classifiers are statistically significant.The random forest classifier consistently achieves the highest performance with an accuracy exceeding 95%when using a neighborhood size of k=100,while recall,F-score,and Cohen's Kappa also demonstrate high success.SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP),an Explainable AI technique,has been used to evaluate feature importance and improve the explainability of black-box machine learning models in the context of rock discontinuity classification.The analysis reveals that features such as normal vectors,verticality,and Z-values have the greatest influence on identifying main discontinuity sets,while linearity,planarity,and eigenvalues contribute less,making the model more transparent and easier to understand.After classification,individual discontinuity sets were detected using a revised DBSCAN from the main discontinuity sets.Finally,the orientation parameters of the plane fitted to each discontinuity were derived from the plane parameters obtained using the Random Sample Consensus(RANSAC).Two real-world datasets(obtained from SfM and LiDAR)and one synthetic dataset were used to validate the proposed method,which successfully identified rock discontinuities and their orientation parameters(dip angle/direction).
