New framework enables interpretable clinical AI without concept supervision

Researchers have developed a new framework for interpreting clinical text predictions made by language models without requiring concept supervision. This approach uses a cross-attention bottleneck to estimate concept relevance for each text token, enabling interpretable predictions while maintaining strong performance. The framework was tested on tasks including chest trauma severity stratification and in-hospital mortality prediction using the MIMIC-III dataset, achieving performance close to blackbox models and providing both cohort- and patient-level interpretability. AI

IMPACT Improves transparency in clinical AI predictions, potentially leading to more trustworthy diagnostic tools.

    A Concept-Based Interpretable Framework for Clinical Text-based Prediction via Token-Concept Attention without Concept Supervision

    arXiv:2611.13564v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Objective: Concept-based interpretation has emerged as a promising approach for explaining blackbox models using human-understandable, high-level concepts. However, most existing methods require annotated concept labels to train t…
