Researchers have developed a novel method called "Pathology Transport" that utilizes optimal transport to create explanations for clinical AI models. This approach models the distributions of healthy and diseased patients to generate heatmaps that aim to localize disease. While effective on tabular data for tasks like unsupervised malignancy scoring, the method's heatmap localization capabilities were found to be unreliable on real-world chest X-ray data, collapsing to chance levels and underperforming compared to supervised methods like Grad-CAM. The study highlights a significant gap between synthetic and real-world performance, emphasizing the need for robust benchmarks to validate AI explanation heatmaps in clinical settings. AI
