A Study Comparing Explainability Methods: A Medical User Perspective

Anotace: In recent years, we have witnessed the rapid development of artificial intelligence systems and their presence in various fields. These systems are very efficient and powerful, but often unclear and insufficiently transparent. Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods try to solve this problem. XAI is still a developing area of research, but it already has considerable potential for improving the transparency and trustworthiness of AI models. Thanks to XAI, we can build more responsible and ethical AI systems that better serve people’s needs. The aim of this study is to focus on the role of the user. Part of the work is a comparison of several explainability methods such as LIME, SHAP, ANCHORS and PDP on a selected data set from the field of medicine. The comparison of individual explainability methods from various aspects was carried out using a user study.
