Abstract
In this talk, I will present results showing the performance of MSE , PCA-> LDA , PCA->XGBoost, XGBoost and novel Ensemble Scale-Invariant CNN models in the context of tissue classification for cancer diagnosis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy biopsy images. I will then discuss the explainability of those models using LIME [1] to reveal wavenumber ranges of particular importance for this classification task, before extending the CRIME framework [2] using custom semi-supervised VAE models to identify clustered explanation patterns. Finally, I will show how these clustered explanation patterns can be used to produce a model-agnostic, fully explainable linear predictive model for classification purposes.
