arXiv:2606.06224v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Explanations of multiple instance learning (MIL) models are widely used for validation and discovery in digital histopathology. Existing methods primarily rely on heatmaps that highlight influential regions but do not explain how evidence from different tissue regions is combined to produce a prediction. This limits interpretability, especially when decisions depend on interactions between tissue features. We introduce Symbolic explainable MIL (Symb-xMIL), a post-hoc explanation framework that quantifies how a MIL model's behavior aligns with h
The increasing adoption of AI in critical fields like digital pathology necessitates greater transparency and interpretability in model decisions, which current methods lack.
This development addresses a key limitation in AI interpretability for complex medical diagnostics, enhancing trust and accelerating the deployment of AI in healthcare.
AI explanations in digital pathology can now move beyond simple heatmaps to provide symbolic, human-readable reasons for model predictions, improving validation and discovery.
