摘要Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most commonly used neuro-oncology imaging modalities,which is a non-invasive mode of imaging and helps in detecting brain abnormalities in an effective way.Earlier researchers have demonstrated that brain tumor segmentation and classification can be effectively performed using deep learning techniques.Existing studies are primarily aimed at increasing prediction accuracy and provide insignificant consideration to model interpretability,limiting their practical application in clinical practice.To address this limitation,this research presents a two-stage explainable deep learning model,which combines transformer-based segmentation with an ensemble classification model that is consistent in explanations.The first stage introduces Swin-DS-HAFUNetv2,an enhanced transformer-based segmentation architecture that integrates hierarchical Swin Transformer encoders,refined hierarchical attention fusion,a contextual bottleneck transformer,and multi-scale deep supervision to improve tumor localization in T1-weighted MRI,particularly under low-contrast and irregular morphological conditions.The second stage includes the ECWMEv2 ensemble classifier,which integrates a perturbation analysis based on Grad-CAM(Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping)to systematically assess the consistency and clinical significance of visual explanations for candidate models.Only those architectures that exhibit stable and pathology-consistent explanations,such as ConvNeXt,Swin Transformer,and EVA02,are stored and merged by means of explanation-weighted soft voting with XGBoost-based meta-learning.Experimental evaluation on the BRISC2025 benchmark dataset indicates that Swin-DS-HAFUNetv2 has a mean Dice coefficient of 0.9782 and Intersection over Union(IoU)of 0.8656,with ECWMEv2 having a classification accuracy of 0.9917 and a MacroF1 score of 0.9867.The mean Grad-CAM IoU of 0.692 reflects uniform and anatomically significant consistency of attention to tumor regions.These results demonstrate that the integration of explanation stability as a fundamental design principle significantly improves model robustness and interpretability to provide a methodologically validated and benchmark-level framework for future studies of multimodal and clinically oriented brain tumor analysis systems.
摘要The rapid evolution of 5G-enabled Software Defined Networks(SDNs)has transformed modern communication systems by enabling ultra-low latency,massive connectivity,and high throughput.However,the increased complexity of traffic flows and the rise of sophisticated cyber-attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service(DDoS),Botnets,Fake Base Stations,and Zero-Day exploits have made intrusion detection a critical challenge.Traditional Intrusion Detection System(IDS)approaches often suffer from poor gen-eralization,high false positives,and lack of interpretability,making them unsuitable for dynamic 5G environments.This paper presents a novel Graph Neural Network(GNN)with Multi-Head Attention(MHA)and SHAP-based explainability for robust,interpretable,and high-throughput intrusion detection in 5G-SDN.The model is evaluated on the NGIDS-DS and 5G-NIDD datasets,along with a real-time 5G testbed,and achieves a detection accuracy of 98.67%and a detection rate of 99.20%,outperforming baseline IDS models(92.15%accuracy and 89.42%detection rate).Latency is reduced to 24.6 ms compared to 47.3 ms in existing methods,while throughput improves from 7420 flows/sec to 11,384 flows/sec,demonstrating scalability under 5G traffic loads.Furthermore,the integration of SHAP ensures an Interpretability Confidence Score(ICS)of 0.92,providing transparency in decision-making for security-critical applications.The proposed framework significantly enhances detection robustness,reduces overhead,and maintains compliance with 5G Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication(URLLC)performance thresholds,making it a strong candidate for real-world 5G deployments.

摘要BACKGROUND Echinococcosis,caused by Echinococcus parasites,includes alveolar echinococcosis(AE),the most lethal form,primarily affecting the liver with a 90%mortality rate without prompt treatment.While radical surgery combined with antiparasitic therapy is ideal,many patients present late,missing hepatectomy opportunities.Ex vivo liver resection and autotransplantation(ELRA)offers hope for such patients.Traditional surgical decision-making,relying on clinical experience,is prone to bias.Machine learning can enhance decision-making by identifying key factors influencing surgical choices.This study innovatively employs multiple machine learning methods by integrating various feature selection techniques and SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)interpretive analysis to deeply explore the key decision factors influencing surgical strategies.AIM To determine the key preoperative factors influencing surgical decision-making in hepatic AE(HAE)using machine learning.METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University(July 2010 to August 2024).There were 710 HAE patients(545 hepatectomy and 165 ELRA)with complete clinical data.Data included demographics,laboratory indicators,imaging,and pathology.Feature selection was performed using recursive feature elimination,minimum redundancy maximum relevance,and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression,with the intersection of these methods yielding 10 critical features.Eleven machinelearning algorithms were compared,with eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)optimized using Bayesian optimization.Model interpretability was assessed using SHAP analysis.RESULTS The XGBoost model achieved an area under the curve of 0.935 in the training set and 0.734 in the validation set.The optimal threshold(0.28)yielded sensitivity of 93.6%and specificity of 90.9%.SHAP analysis identified type of vascular invasion as the most important feature,followed by platelet count and prothrombin time.Lesions invading the hepatic vein,inferior vena cava,or multiple vessels significantly increased the likelihood of ELRA.Calibration curves showed good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities(0.2-0.7 range).The model demonstrated high net clinical benefit in Decision Curve Analysis,with accuracy of 0.837,recall of 0.745,and F1 score of 0.788.CONCLUSION Vascular invasion is the dominant factor influencing the choice of surgical approach in HAE.Machine-learning models,particularly XGBoost,can provide transparent and data-driven support for personalized decision-making.
摘要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.

摘要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.
摘要Generative Artificial Intelligence(GenAI)systems have achieved remarkable capabilities across text,code,and image generation;however,their outputs remain prone to errors,hallucinations,and biases.Users often overtrust these outputs due to limited transparency,which can lead to misuse and decision errors.This study addresses the challenge of calibrating trust in GenAI through a human centered testing framework enhanced with adaptive explainability.We introduce a methodology that adjusts explanations dynamically according to user expertise,model output confidence,and contextual risk factors,providing guidance that is informative but not overwhelming.The framework was evaluated using outputs from OpenAI’s Generative Pretrained Transformer 4(GPT-4)for text and code generation and Stable Diffusion,a deep generative image model,for image synthesis.The evaluation covered text,code,and visual modalities.A dataset of 5000 GenAI outputs was created and reviewed by a diverse participant group of 360 individuals categorized by expertise level.Results show that adaptive explanations improve error detection rates,reduce the mean squared trust calibration error,and maintain efficient decision making compared with both static and no explanation conditions.Theframework increased error detection by up to 16% across expertise levels,a gain that can provide practical benefits in high stakes fields.For example,in healthcare it may help identify diagnostic errors earlier,and in law it may prevent reliance on flawed evidence in judicial work.These improvements highlight the framework’s potential to make Artificial Intelligence(AI)deployment safer and more accountable.Visual analyses,including trust accuracy plots,reliability diagrams,and misconception maps,show that the adaptive approach reduces overtrust and reveals patterns of misunderstanding across modalities.Statistical results confirmthe robustness of thesefindings across novice,intermediate,and expert users.The study offers insights for designing explanations that balance completeness and simplicity to improve trust calibration and cognitive load.The approach has implications for safe and transparent GenAI deployment and can inform both AI interface design and policy development for responsible AI use.
摘要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.
摘要In the era of advanced machine learning techniques,the development of accurate predictive models for complex medical conditions,such as thyroid cancer,has shown remarkable progress.Accurate predictivemodels for thyroid cancer enhance early detection,improve resource allocation,and reduce overtreatment.However,the widespread adoption of these models in clinical practice demands predictive performance along with interpretability and transparency.This paper proposes a novel association-rule based feature-integratedmachine learning model which shows better classification and prediction accuracy than present state-of-the-artmodels.Our study also focuses on the application of SHapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP)values as a powerful tool for explaining thyroid cancer prediction models.In the proposed method,the association-rule based feature integration framework identifies frequently occurring attribute combinations in the dataset.The original dataset is used in trainingmachine learning models,and further used in generating SHAP values fromthesemodels.In the next phase,the dataset is integrated with the dominant feature sets identified through association-rule based analysis.This new integrated dataset is used in re-training the machine learning models.The new SHAP values generated from these models help in validating the contributions of feature sets in predicting malignancy.The conventional machine learning models lack interpretability,which can hinder their integration into clinical decision-making systems.In this study,the SHAP values are introduced along with association-rule based feature integration as a comprehensive framework for understanding the contributions of feature sets inmodelling the predictions.The study discusses the importance of reliable predictive models for early diagnosis of thyroid cancer,and a validation framework of explainability.The proposed model shows an accuracy of 93.48%.Performance metrics such as precision,recall,F1-score,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic(AUROC)are also higher than the baseline models.The results of the proposed model help us identify the dominant feature sets that impact thyroid cancer classification and prediction.The features{calcification}and{shape}consistently emerged as the top-ranked features associated with thyroid malignancy,in both association-rule based interestingnessmetric values and SHAPmethods.The paper highlights the potential of the rule-based integrated models with SHAP in bridging the gap between the machine learning predictions and the interpretability of this prediction which is required for real-world medical applications.

摘要In a recent study published in Nature Medicine,Wang,Shao,and colleagues successfully addressed two critical issues of lung cancer(LC)screening with low-dose computed tomography(LDCT)whose widespread implementation,despite its capacity to decrease LC mortality,remains challenging:(1)the difficulty in accurately distinguishing malignant nodules from the far more common benign nodules detected on LDCT,and(2)the insufficient coverage of LC screening in resource-limited areas.1 To perform nodule risk stratification,Wang et al.developed and validated a multi-step,multidimensional artificial intelligence(AI)-based system(Fig.1)and introduced a data-driven Chinese Lung Nodules Reporting and Data System(C-Lung-RADS).1 A Lung-RADS system was developed in the US to stratify lung nodules into categories of increasing risk of LC and to provide corresponding management recommendations.

摘要Predicting hard landings is crucial for aiding pilots’decisions and ensuring flight safety.This paper addresses the limitations of current hard landing predictionmodels,specifically in terms of long-term forecasting accuracy and explainability.To overcome these challenges,it introduces the Informer hard landing prediction model,developed using QAR data,and performs an indepth explainability analysis of the model’s output.Following the principles of learning assurance,the data processing and model training phases are standardized.This involves the application of forward-backward filtering and Granger causality testing to refine the QAR data,thus creating a dataset that aligns with essential prediction standards.The Informer model addresses the challenges of multivariate time series discontinuities by localizing its network to enhance data adaptability.During model training and testing,hyperparameters are finely tuned to maximize prediction accuracy and generalizability.To improve transparency,the model employs an attention weight matrix and a feature reset-based explainability method.Tests show that models trained on datasets developed through a defined data management process deliver favorable predictive performance.The localized enhanced network improved prediction accuracy by 23.5%and increased its capacity to learn from discontinuous multivariate time series.Compared to the LSTM network,the Informer network achieved an 18.83%improvement in prediction accuracy and demonstrated superior long-time series prediction capabilities.

摘要Recently,AI-based models have been applied to accurately estimate tunnel boring machine(TBM)energy consumption.Although data-driven models exhibit strong predictive capabilities,their outputs derived from“black box”processes are challenging to interpret and generalize.Consequently,this study develops an XGB_MOFS model that cooperates extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost)and multi-objective feature selection(MOFS)to improve the accuracy and explainability of energy consumption prediction.The XGB_MOFS model includes:(1)a causal inference framework to identify the causal relationships among influential factors,and(2)a MOFS approach to balance predictive performance and explainability.Two case studies are carried out to verify the proposed method.Results show that XGB_MOFS achieves a high degree of accuracy and robustness in energy consumption prediction.The XGB_MOFS model,balancing accuracy with explainability,serves as an effective and feasible tool for regulating TBM energy consumption.

摘要As the cornerstone for the safe operation of energy systems,short-term voltage stability(STVS)has been assessed effectively with the advance of artificial intelligence(AI).However,the black-box models of traditional AI barely identify what the specific key factors in power systems are and how they influence STVS,thus providing limited practical information for engineers in on-site dispatch centers.Enlightened by the latest explainable artificial intelligence(XAI)techniques,this paper aims to unveil the mechanism underlying the complex STVS problem.First,the ground truth for STVS is established via qualitative analysis.Based on this,an explainability score is then devised to measure the trustworthiness of different XAI techniques,among which Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations(LIME)exhibits the best performance in this study.Finally,a sequential approach is proposed to extend the local interpretation of LIME to a broader scope,which is applied to enhance STVS performance before a fault occurs in distribution system load shedding,serving as an example to demonstrate the application merits of the explored mechanism.Numerical results on a modified IEEE system demonstrate that this finding facilitates the identification of the most suitable XAI technique for STVS,while also providing an interpretable mechanism for the STVS,offering accessible guidance for stability-aware dispatch.

摘要Background:Liver disease(LD)significantly impacts global health,requiring accurate diagnostic methods.This study aims to develop an automated system for LD prediction using machine learning(ML)and explainable artificial intelligence(XAI),enhancing diagnostic precision and interpretability.Methods:This research systematically analyzes two distinct datasets encompassing liver health indicators.A combination of preprocessing techniques,including feature optimization methods such as Forward Feature Selection(FFS),Backward Feature Selection(BFS),and Recursive Feature Elimination(RFE),is applied to enhance data quality.After that,ML models,namely Support Vector Machines(SVM),Naive Bayes(NB),Random Forest(RF),K-nearest neighbors(KNN),Decision Trees(DT),and a novel Tree Selection and Stacking Ensemble-based RF(TSRF),are assessed in the dataset to diagnose LD.Finally,the ultimate model is selected based on incorporating cross-validation and evaluation through performance metrics like accuracy,precision,specificity,etc.,and efficient XAI methods express the ultimate model’s interoperability.Findings:The analysis reveals TSRF as the most effective model,achieving a peak accuracy of 99.92%on Dataset-1 without feature optimization and 88.88%on Dataset-2 with RFE optimization.XAI techniques,including SHAP and LIME plots,highlight key features influencing model predictions,providing insights into the reasoning behind classification outcomes.Interpretation:The findings highlight TSRF’s potential in improving LD diagnosis,using XAI to enhance transparency and trust in ML models.Despite high accuracy and interpretability,limitations such as dataset bias and lack of clinical validation remain.Future work focuses on integrating advanced XAI,diversifying datasets,and applying the approach in clinical settings for reliable diagnostics.
摘要The attention mechanism,as a key technology for enhancing the performance of deep learning,is gaining increasingly widespread attention in medical image analysis due to its ability to focus on critical features and suppress redundant information.In recent years,the continuous evolution of attention methods has significantly improved their accuracy and robustness in key medical tasks such as lesion detection,tissue segmentation,and multimodal fusion,providing crucial support for building reliable clinical decision support systems.This paper systematically reviews the advances in attention-based methods for medical image analysis,comparing their performance with mainstream models like U-shaped convolutional neural network(UNet),convolutional neural network(CNN),and Vision Transformer(ViT)across multiple tasks,and summarizes various evaluation metrics,including the Dice coefficient,area under the ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristic)curve(AUC),and mean Average Precision(mAP).The review highlights that attention mechanisms bring significant improvements across core tasks such as segmentation,classification,detection,registration,and multimodal fusion:the Dice coefficient increases by 5%–12%in segmentation tasks,AUC improves by 3%–8%in classification tasks,mAP rises by 7%–15%in detection tasks,alignment accuracy enhances by 10%–20%in registration tasks,and retrieval accuracy reaches 85%–95%in multimodal fusion.The design characteristics and performance gains of key architectures such as channel attention,spatial attention,and hybrid attention are further analyzed.Nevertheless,current research still faces critical challenges,including scarce annotated data,limited cross-center generalization,complexity in multimodal fusion,insufficient model interpretability,and high computational costs.Accordingly,future research directions are proposed to promote the in-depth development and clinical translation of attention mechanisms in medical image analysis.

摘要Wind turbines are highly efficient energy converters that exploit locally available renewable resources across many regions.In modern floating offshore wind turbines(FOWTs),strong aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads give rise to nonlinear and tightly coupled dynamics,which typically require dedicated—and computationally demanding—simulation tools for analysis and control design.This work introduces a simplified,control-oriented mathematical model of a FOWT,derived directly from fundamental force and torque balances and explicitly incorporating the gyroscopic effect,which is often neglected in onshore wind turbines due to its comparatively lower significance.Model parameters are identified for the NREL 5-MW reference turbine using autoregressive models with exogenous input(ARX)techniques.The proposed model is validated against the standard NREL OpenFAST simulation framework.Its utility is further demonstrated by designing a classical control system based on the simplified model and applying it to a high-fidelity nonlinear FOWT simulation,yielding satisfactory performance.The main advantages of the model are:(a)its compact parameter set enables computationally efficient simulations;(b)its feedback structure is based on relative forces,making it applicable under a broader range of disturbances than conventional input-output models;(c)its simplicity facilitates the identification of fundamental behaviors and rapid assessment of dynamic couplings;and(d)its structure is easily modifiable,allowing redesign of components or targeted alteration of the system dynamics through control actions.Overall,the model remains fully explainable,preserving a clear link to the underlying physical principles.

摘要Graph neural networks(GNNs)have made rapid developments in the recent years.Due to their great ability in modeling graph-structured data,GNNs are vastly used in various applications,including high-stakes scenarios such as financial analysis,traffic predictions,and drug discovery.Despite their great potential in benefiting humans in the real world,recent study shows that GNNs can leak private information,are vulnerable to adversarial attacks,can inherit and magnify societal bias from training data and lack inter-pretability,which have risk of causing unintentional harm to the users and society.For example,existing works demonstrate that at-tackers can fool the GNNs to give the outcome they desire with unnoticeable perturbation on training graph.GNNs trained on social networks may embed the discrimination in their decision process,strengthening the undesirable societal bias.Consequently,trust-worthy GNNs in various aspects are emerging to prevent the harm from GNN models and increase the users'trust in GNNs.In this pa-per,we give a comprehensive survey of GNNs in the computational aspects of privacy,robustness,fairness,and explainability.For each aspect,we give the taxonomy of the related methods and formulate the general frameworks for the multiple categories of trustworthy GNNs.We also discuss the future research directions of each aspect and connections between these aspects to help achieve trustworthi-ness.
摘要Advanced machine learning(ML)algorithms have outperformed traditional approaches in various forecasting applications,especially electricity price forecasting(EPF).However,the prediction accuracy of ML reduces substantially if the input data is not similar to the ones seen by the model during training.This is often observed in EPF problems when market dynamics change owing to a rise in fuel prices,an increase in renewable penetration,a change in operational policies,etc.While the dip in model accuracy for unseen data is a cause for concern,what is more,challenging is not knowing when the ML model would respond in such a manner.Such uncertainty makes the power market participants,like bidding agents and retailers,vulnerable to substantial financial loss caused by the prediction errors of EPF models.Therefore,it becomes essential to identify whether or not the model prediction at a given instance is trustworthy.In this light,this paper proposes a trust algorithm for EPF users based on explainable artificial intelligence techniques.The suggested algorithm generates trust scores that reflect the model’s prediction quality for each new input.These scores are formulated in two stages:in the first stage,the coarse version of the score is formed using correlations of local and global explanations,and in the second stage,the score is fine-tuned further by the Shapley additive explanations values of different features.Such score-based explanations are more straightforward than feature-based visual explanations for EPF users like asset managers and traders.A dataset from Italy’s and ERCOT’s electricity market validates the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.Results show that the algorithm has more than 85%accuracy in identifying good predictions when the data distribution is similar to the training dataset.In the case of distribution shift,the algorithm shows the same accuracy level in identifying bad predictions.
