Explainable and Trustworthy Deep Learning Models for Mission Critical Applications
Download PDFAbstract
Deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in various domains, but their black-box nature poses significant challenges in mission-critical applications where transparency, accountability, and trust are paramount. This chapter addresses the critical need for explainable and trustworthy deep learning models in high-stakes environments such as healthcare, autonomous systems, and finance. We provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), focusing on techniques that enhance the interpretability of deep neural networks. The chapter introduces a proposed methodology for building trustworthy AI systems, integrating explainability methods like LIME and SHAP into the deep learning workflow. We present a case study in medical diagnosis, using a simulated dataset inspired by MIMIC-III, to demonstrate the practical application of our framework. The results and discussion section provides a detailed analysis of model performance, explainability, and trustworthiness metrics, highlighting the trade-offs and benefits of different XAI techniques. Finally, we conclude with a summary of key findings and future research directions for advancing the development of reliable and transparent AI for mission-critical applications.
