- Abstract
Medical Image Captioning, which is the automatic generation of descriptive text through medical images, has yet to be a very valuable assistant for clinicians regarding image interpretation and diagnosis. Notable in particular is the recent break-through on deep learning that has greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency of image captioning model. However, on the other hand this “black-box” nature of deep learning model raises even more worrisome questions about interpretability and trustworthiness in a crucial field like healthcare. To address these challenges, incorporation of eXplainable AI (XAI) techniques in the framework of medical image captioning will enhance the transparency of these model decisions. This paper investigates about various XAI techniques such as GRAD-CAM, LIME and other attention mechanism to provide visual explanation of model output. The paper covers the challenges and further possibilities in order to enhance the trustworthiness and interpretability at the same time.
