Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for healthcare decision-making by Zeng, Zhiwei

“…It is an argumentative methodology that can infuse explainability into the model and generate explanations that are faithful and insightful to the inner workings and internal representations of the model. It follows a “debate-like” process that shares many similarities with the way humans deliberate and make decisions, thereby giving it unique advantages in generating human-understandable explanations. …”
