Interpretability & explainability are important in #surgicalAI
@aminmadaniMD & I teamed up with @RICEric22 to build explanations into GoNoGo zones for lap chole to improve safety of #AI in #surgery
@pennsurgery @GRASPlab @PennCIS @PCASOLab @SAGES_Updates
What makes features interpretable to create better explanations?
We work with real-world experts to develop "The FIX Benchmark: Extracting Features Interpretable to eXperts"!
