  text: "As the field of healthcare increasingly adopts artificial intelligence, it
    becomes important to understand which types of explanations increase transparency
    and empower users to develop confidence and trust in the predictions made by machine
    learning (ML) systems. \r\nIn shared decision-making scenarios where doctors cooperate
    with ML systems to reach an appropriate decision, establishing mutual trust is
    crucial. In this paper, we explore different approaches to generating explanations
    in eXplainable AI (XAI) and make their underlying arguments explicit so that they
    can be evaluated by medical experts.\r\nIn particular, we present the findings
    of a user study conducted with physicians to investigate their perceptions of
    various types of AI-generated explanations in the context of diagnostic decision
    support. The study aims to identify the most effective and useful explanations
    that enhance the diagnostic process. \r\nIn the study, medical doctors filled
    out a survey to assess different types of explanations. Further, an interview
    was carried out post-survey to gain qualitative insights on the requirements of
    explanations incorporated in diagnostic decision support. Overall, the insights
    gained from this study contribute to understanding the types of explanations that
    are most effective."

  text: 'While the importance of explainable artificial intelligence in high-stakes
    decision-making is widely recognized in existing literature, empirical studies
    assessing users'' perceived value of explanations are scarce. In this paper, we
    aim to address this shortcoming by conducting an empirical study focused on measuring
    the perceived value of the following types of explanations: plain explanations
    based on feature attribution, counterfactual explanations and complex counterfactual
    explanations. We measure an explanation''s value using five dimensions: perceived
    accuracy, understandability, plausibility, sufficiency of detail, and user satisfaction.
    Our findings indicate a sweet spot of explanation complexity, with both dimensional
    and structural complexity positively impacting the perceived value up to a certain
    threshold.'

  text: A detailed understanding of the cognitive process underlying diagnostic reasoning
    in medical experts is currently lacking. While high-level theories like hypothetico-deductive
    reasoning were proposed long ago, the inner workings of the step-by-step dynamics
    within the mind remain unknown. We present a fully automated approach to elicit,
    monitor, and record diagnostic reasoning processes at a fine-grained level. A
    web-based user interface enables physicians to carry out a full diagnosis process
    on a simulated patient, given as a pre-defined clinical vignette. By collecting
    the physician’s information queries and hypothesis revisions, highly detailed
    diagnostic reasoning trajectories are captured leading to a diagnosis and its
    justification. Four expert epileptologists with a mean experience of 19 years
    were recruited to evaluate the system and share their impressions in semi-structured
    interviews. We find that the recorded trajectories validate proposed theories
    on broader diagnostic reasoning, while also providing valuable additional details
    extending previous findings.

  text: This paper presents preliminary work on the formalization of three prominent
    cognitive biases in the diagnostic reasoning process over epileptic seizures,
    psychogenic seizures and syncopes. Diagnostic reasoning is understood as iterative
    exploration of medical evidence. This exploration is represented as a partially
    observable Markov decision process where the state (i.e., the correct diagnosis)
    is uncertain. Observation likelihoods and belief updates are computed using a
    Bayesian network which defines the interrelation between medical risk factors,
    diagnoses and potential findings. The decision problem is solved via partially
    observable upper confidence bounds for trees in Monte-Carlo planning. We compute
    a biased diagnostic exploration policy by altering the generated state transition,
    observation and reward during look ahead simulations. The resulting diagnostic
    policies reproduce reasoning errors which have only been described informally
    in the medical literature. We plan to use this formal representation in the future
    to inversely detect and classify biased reasoning in actual diagnostic trajectories
    obtained from physicians.
