2. AI in Diagnosis Assistance • Deep learning is commonly used as diagnosis assistance AI ‒ For research ‒ For commercial system • Interpretation of decision process in AI ‒ Interpretable AIs: • Rule-based decision, decision tree ‒ Non-interpretable AI (black box AI): • Deep learning-based AI COVID-19 AI : Normal region : Infection region EndoBRAIN-EYE Ali-M3
3. Trustworthy AI • What is trustable AI for radiologists – Provide reason of its decision that can interpretable by radiologists and patients – Provide confidence rate of its decision • Radiologists will decide he/she follow or ignore the decision by AI based on confidence rate • Clarification including the reason of decision by AI and what AI doesn’t know is necessary • Important research fields in trustworthy AI – Explainable AI, Uncertainty in AI
4. Elements in Trustworthy AI • Explainable AI ‒ (Mainly) Try to clarify reason of decision ‒ GradCAM and LIME are popular in image processing • Uncertainty in AI ‒ Clarify confidence of decision by AI ‒ Results can be utilized in: • Request radiologist for further consideration • Clarify what image patterns should be provided for training to improve AI model • Uncertainty-based loss function GradCAM visualization of chest X-ray image classification model[1] Uncertainty maps from abdominal organ segmentation model [1] Rajaraman S., et al.

6. Explainable AI • What is explainable AI? – Approaches to make decision process of non-interpretable AI (black box AI) interpretable for human • Approaches in explainable AI[2] – Outcome explanation – Model explanation – Model inspection – Transparent box design [2] Guidotti R., et al. A Survey of Methods for Explaining Black Box Models. ACM Computing Surveys, 51(5), 1-42, 2018
7. Approaches in Explainable AI • Outcome explanation ‒ Provide explanations for AI outcomes ‒ Methods: LIME, CAM, Grad-CAM • Model explanation ‒ Provide interpretable model that approximates black box model ‒ Method: Born again trees[4] • Model inspection ‒ Understand model from its inputs and outcomes • Transparent box design ‒ Make parts of black box model interpretable [3] https://jp.mathworks.com/help/deeplearning/ug/understand-network-predictions-using-lime.html [1] Rajaraman S., et al.

8. Outcome Explanation Method: LIME[5] • LIME (local interpretable mode-agnostic explanations) – Visualizes regions on image that contributed to making decision of AI – Applicable to any image processing AI • How LIME works – Separate an image into small components – Make images for testing by randomly removing some of the small components – Feed the test images to AI and check its responses – If response from AI largely changed, removed small component has highly contributed to AI decision [5] Ribeiro M.T., et al.

9. Outcome Explanation Method: CAM[6] • CAM (class activation mapping) – Visualizes regions on image that contributed to making decision of AI – Applicable to CNN-based image processing AIs • How CAM works – Input an image to CNN-based AI – AI makes a decision by data propagation in its network – Get feature map and weight from network – Calculate heatmap (highlights regions on image that contributed to decision) from feature map and weight [1] Rajaraman S., et al.

IEEE Access, 8, 115041-115050, 2020 • Explainable AI ‒ (Mainly) Try to clarify reason of decision ‒ GradCAM and LIME are popular in image processing • Uncertainty in AI ‒ Clarify confidence of decision by AI ‒ Results can be utilized in: • Request radiologist for further consideration • Clarify what image patterns should be provided for training to improve AI model • Uncertainty-based loss function
11. Uncertainty in AI • What is uncertainty – Ambiguity and volatility of AI judgments resulting from various changes • Uncertainty can be utilized to improve accuracy of AI decision Input image 0 Benign 1 Malignant AI 0.53 Result: Malignant Decision AI decision without considering uncertainty Input images 0 Benign 1 Malignant Ave.: 0.45, S.D.: 0.2 Result: Benign but large ambiguity on decision Decision AI decision considering uncertainty AI Perturbation on image （Aleatoric uncertainty） Perturbation on AI model （Epistemic uncertainty）
12. Two Components of Uncertainty • Aleatoric uncertainty (data uncertainty) ‒ Uncertainty in AI decision caused by noise or variance in data • Epistemic uncertainty (model uncertainty) ‒ Uncertainty in AI decision caused by variance in model parameter determination (model training) Uncertainty maps in organ segmentation from CT image
13. Uncertainty Map • Uncertainty map visualizes ‒ Which area in image AI is high/low confident for its decision ‒ Which area in image AI knows or does not know (“does not know” means AI is not well trained with the pattern) ‒ Which area in image radiologists should check carefully High uncertainty means low confident Low uncertainty means high confident Uncertainty maps in organ segmentation from CT image
